Leederville's supportive housing and education community assisting young people experiencing homelessness to create their future. Some don't get it.

All young people need a home, support and a springboard into independent living, learning and work. Foyer Oxford fills that gap. Foyer Oxford combines holistic support, high quality housing and access to flexible training to give young people the opportunity to thrive long term. Run by a consortium of Anglicare WA, Foundation Housing and the Central Institute of Technology, Foyer is an innovative solution that inspires young people to follow their strengths and aspirations on a journey into work and out of homelessness. Foyer Oxford is incredibly fortunate to be a part of the vibrant Leederville community, if you’d like to know more, hit our website www.foyeroxford.org.au, email [email protected] or call on 1800 185 685. Foyer Facts:
• Foyer Oxford has 98 Apartments for young people, including 24 for young parents and their kids.
• In return for a 2 year stay, young people sign the ‘Foyer Deal’ where they commit to connecting with employment and training, looking after their apartment and being a positive community member.
• To live at Foyer young people have to be 16-25yrs of age, and be motivated to connect with employment or training.
• Young people at Foyer come from diverse places and situations, but we encourage them to make contact independently so that they are in charge of their journey from the beginning.
• Foyer Oxford has a range of opportunities for the local community to connect with our work, including volunteering.

Too many young people are falling through the cracks, left rough sleeping, couch surfing, and facing unsafe, uncertain futures.

That was the powerful message shared by a frontline worker from Vinnies WA's Passages Youth Engagement Hub at Parliament House this morning, alongside voices from other not for profit organisations and our Street Connect team to mark the Ending Unaccompanied Child & Youth Homelessness Pre Budget Submission 2027-28 launch.

Together, we're calling on the WA Government to:

📑 Deliver a Youth Homelessness Strategy for WA
⌛ Invest in prevention and early intervention
🏘️ Expand safe housing options for young people
0️⃣ Create a youth-specific Advance to Zero Project
💸 Back lived experience-led solutions

Every young person deserves a safe place to call home. Share this post and join the call for action.

Every day, 830 unaccompanied young people seek help from homelessness services - a 17% increase in just one year, according to Australian Institute of Health and Welfare data.

Anglicare WA has joined youth peak bodies, frontline services, and courageous young people with lived experience in a coalition calling on the WA Government to end youth homelessness and act on the following:
🏠 Housing First for Youth - crisis accommodation, Youth Foyers, and more social and affordable housing
🧭 Early intervention and prevention, including place-based youth hubs
🤝 A stronger, better coordinated youth homelessness sector
🔊 Embedding young people’s voices in policy and service design

As the richest state in one of the richest nations in the world, Western Australia can end youth homelessness and ensure no child goes without a safe place to sleep at night. Find out how you can be part of the solution below.

Yesterday, we welcomed Mr Dan Bull MLA, Member for Maylands, to Foyer Oxford to learn how Anglicare WA, Foundation Housing Ltd, and North Metropolitan TAFE provide safe, stable housing for 98 young people, including 24 young parents and their children.

Foyer is a calm space centrally located in the heart of Leederville for people aged 16 to 24 who are experiencing or are at risk of homelessness. For up to two years, alongside their accommodation young people are offered fully integrated support that helps them strengthen their employment, education, and life skills, guiding them toward lasting stability and independence.

Mr Bull toured the facility with Anglicare WA CEO Mark Glasson, Youth Services Service Manager, Sally Savage, and Jasmine, a current Foyer resident and received an overview of the services offered to young people at Foyer Oxford.
