    Youth Homeless Support

    Our Youth Homeless Support mobile team works with young people aged 16-25 in Townsville and on the Sunshine Coast who are at risk of homelessness or already experiencing homelessness.

    What does the service do?

    Our Youth Homeless Support mobile team give young people the help they need to move toward their housing goals. This support includes helping young people with the first steps such as setting up a bank account or accessing Centrelink payments, if needed, so that they can successfully apply for private rental or public housing.

    “I am so happy with Vinnies Youth Homeless Support helping me with food and regular visits because I have problems socialising and going out in public.  I will never forget the first visit I had, because I was given a bottle of sports drink. It was what I really needed at the time. I was about to walk up to the shop to get a drink and Brenda (the support worker) walked in and gave me one.”
