The Challenge

Young people are establishing themselves in life as independant adults, this requires a set of skills, which may not have been learned due to prior challenges. Education, Employment, Housing and Living Skills, Civic participation, Social connections, and Health and wellbeing skills are the cornerstone of creating the life that you want. The Foyer will bring all of this together with you .

The Solution

Young people can apply through the Brophy Intake service to be considered for the Foyer. Successful applicants are subject to a Rooming House Tenancy Lease through Barwon Child Youth and Families, and engage with a Youth Development Worker to collaborate and formulate goals based on individual talents, dreams and aspirations

Education is a key component to gaining adult independence for life. We’ll look at your goals and find pathways.

I called Brophy and explained my housing situation, I met with the engagement and intake worker and we worked out that the Foyer would be a soultion for me. I have been a resident for eight months and am starting to plan my exit into independant living. I’ve learned SO MUCH! And it’s been a safe and stable place to regroup at.
