Youth Homelessness Matters Day | Brisbane Youth Service

Wednesday 19 April is Youth Homelessness Matters Day – the annual national day to raise awareness, break stereotypes, and advocate for greater supports for young people experiencing homelessness.

Youth Homelessness Matters Day is a call out to everyone, especially those who believe in the power of community, to take action and publicly state that #YouthHomelessnessMatters.

#YHMD2023

In 2022, we are advocated for a national plan to coordinate action and end youth homelessness. This year’s theme is yet to be released but stay tuned.

Youth homelessness is an issue that can be addressed if we all work together on the solution.

“Young people seeking housing support are faced with a reality check of the very limited, if any, housing options available.”

– BYS Youth Worker
