Why we need you
In Queensland, 37% of people experiencing homelessness are under 25.1 Young people are being disproportionately affected by the housing crisis. They're often overlooked for accommodation, facing limited options and a critical shortage of social housing.
But your support can change that. By acting today, you can help provide the stability, care, and opportunity young people need to grow, connect, and build more hopeful futures.
More young people than ever before are reaching out for support – and we need to be ready to respond when they do. You can help us be there for more young people when it matters most.
With the help from BYS, I was able to move on in life as they helped me build the foundation to get me started in life. As a single mother with a 3 year old child, I now have a very secure job which I’ve had for almost 2.5 years, I secured private rental housing and I have a stable income.
