Accommodation Support for Young People

Foyer Warrnambool

Foyer Warrnambool is a youth accommodation residence that provides opportunities for young people aged 16 to 25 years to engage in individual and group activities aimed at developing the skills necessary to build independence and stability.

Our Foyer is home to up to 16 young people who have required to access it as an alternative housing source due to a variety of reason. Foyer residents have secure, affordable accommodation at the Foyer, but they are all part of the wider Foyer community, many aspects of living at the Foyer incorporate navigating communal living, so that brings a sense of connectedness.

What does living at the Foyer look like?

• It’s a place to call home. You will live in your own unit, learning housing skills to prepare you for your own place one day soon.
• We’ll teach you how to manage your finances so that you can achieve your goals and manage independently.
• You will be supported by Foyer mentors and peers to make the most of the oppertunity to get ahead.
• Education is a key component to gaining adult independence for life. We’ll look at your goals and find pathways.
