Northern Sydney West Youth Homelessness Service

Housing & homelessness

Hornsby, 2077

The Northern Sydney West Youth Homelessness Service works with young people (under 25 years) to prevent homelessness by intervening early. The service is delivered in partnership with Taldumande Youth Services and provides supported crisis accommodation, transitional accommodation, and help to rapidly re-house people who are ready for independent living. Post-crisis support is also offered to help young people sustain their housing over the long-term. The service works throughout the Hornsby, Ryde, Ku-ring-gai and Hunters Hill LGAs and has targeted strategies for young people exiting care, those with complex needs, and young people from Aboriginal and culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

Who we assist

The Northern Sydney West – Youth Homelessness Service focuses on young people who are under 25 years of age. Young people under the age of 25 are able to access the early intervention, or staying home, component of the Service. Young people under the age of 21 years are able to access accommodation services, ranging from crisis to transitional and semi-independent. In the Northern Sydney area, the only crisis refuge is at North Sydney, which whilst is not incorporated in the Northern Sydney West Youth Homelessness Service, can be accessed as a result of the partnership between Mission Australia and Taldumande Youth Services.

Eligibility criteria

Young people under 24 years of age for staying home and 21 years of age for going home at risk of homelessness or experiencing homelessness in the Hornsby, Ryde, Ku-ring-gai and Hunters Hill Local Government Areas.
