Queensland Expands Youth Housing with Redcliffe Project

Redcliffe will become home to Queensland’s first Youth Foyer in the Moreton Bay region, offering stable housing to young people aged 16 to 25 who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. 



Expanding Support Across Moreton Bay

The foyer will provide 40 self-contained units, along with 24/7 on-site support, enabling tenants to develop independent living skills while participating in education, training, or employment. The initiative is part of a wider effort to address rising homelessness in Moreton Bay.

In the past 15 months, the Department of Housing has helped over 450 households into social housing and provided rental assistance to more than 3,600 people. An additional $10.1 million has been allocated to eight Specialist Homelessness Services. These services provide temporary accommodation, tenancy support, and emergency housing.

Youth Foyer Model and Community Benefits

Youth Foyers offer a structured environment where young people can learn life skills and gain access to education and employment opportunities. Residents pay roughly 25 percent of their income in rent, with the average stay lasting around 18 months. 

The Redcliffe foyer is strategically located near public transport, services, and TAFE to maximise access to local resources.

Design and Construction Plans

Brisbane-based Arkhefield has been contracted to design the Redcliffe foyer, which will feature self-contained units, shared communal spaces, and private areas for support services. 

This approach ensures a balance between independence and guidance, helping vulnerable youth transition smoothly into adulthood. The project is part of a broader plan to establish eight Youth Foyers across Queensland by the end of the term.

Community Response

Local council officials noted the growing challenge of youth homelessness and highlighted the importance of collaborative efforts to support vulnerable residents. 



Community organisations have welcomed the initiative, noting the urgent need for more housing and stronger support services to assist local youth.
