Youth Place, St Pat's

A partnership between

St Pat's and Youth Futures

Our Youth Place program assists young people aged 15 to 25 who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness.

Our friendly team of youth support workers can help young people with Emergency Relief, outreach support, case management, advocacy and referrals and/or transitional housing.

Youth Place is delivered by St Pat’s as lead agency, in partnership with Youth Futures WA, and is funded through the WA Department of Communities under the National Affordable Housing Agreement.

How to access the program

Youth Place accepts referrals from people needing support, their families and/or friends and other service providers.

Once the referral form is received, one of our team will make direct contact with the young person and/or service referring within 5 working days to conduct a brief phone assessment over the phone, followed by a face-to-face meeting at Youth Place HQ.
