Youth Futures Incorporated (YFI) is a non profit organisation that offers a number of community services primarily aimed at young people. Despite this, most of our programs are not age dependent.
One of the core services we offer is emergency/crisis accommodation for young men who are homeless or at immediate risk of becoming homeless. This has been the 'core business' of Youth Futures since it began (as NYSA) back in 1980.
Youth Futures Crisis Accommodation Service
The shelter component of Youth Futures remains more-or-less unchanged since it's inception in 1980 (under the name of NYSA - Northern Youth Shelter Association). It is now known as Youth Futures (Inc) Crisis Accommodation.
The Crisis Accommodation component of YFI is a Launceston based crisis/emergency accommodation service which aims to provide safe, secure immediate short-term emergency accommodation for young men between the ages of 13-20 years. We provide residents with information and basic support in areas such as housing, living skills, health issues, legal issues, work, education and training opportunities. We are a 7 day a week, 24 hour a day, 365 day a year service.
Who Can access YFI Crisis Accommodation? Any young man between 13-20 years (including 13 and 20 year olds) who need emergency accommodation.
