Providing Stable and Secure Accommodation for Young People

Kids Under Cover studio
A Kids Under Cover studio

The Studio Program is at the core of our work in preventing youth homelessness. We offer one and two-bedroom, fully relocatable studios (with bathroom) constructed on the grounds of the family or carer’s home. Each studio provides a stable, secure space for a young person to grow and study, while keeping them connected to their family or carer, thus reducing the risk of them being forced to leave home prematurely. A simple yet rigorous application process ensures young people get the help that’s appropriate to them.

Thank you for your interest in our Studio Program.

Please be advised that general applications for the Studio Program are currently closed. Please complete the  Studio Program Enquiry Form which registers your interest in the program, so that we may be in contact with you in the future if we can progress.
