Executive summary
The NSW Youth Homelessness Services Evaluation was undertaken by Mission Australia (MA) to better understand what works well to meet the needs of young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, and what more could be done.
The mixed methods evaluation analysed data from five of MA’s youth homelessness services across NSW, as well as feedback from staff, representatives of partner organisations, and young people experiencing housing instability. The services included offer a range of support from early intervention, outreach, case management, crisis and transitional accommodation, and specialist support.
