SHYP provides transitional housing and support to young people aged 16 – 24 years old who are homeless (or are at risk of becoming homeless) in the City of Yarra and surrounding areas. Currently the program has access to nine properties housing 12 young people. Young people are placed into properties which are mostly shared accommodation with other young people of the same sex. They are then required to pay rent representing 25 per cent of their gross income.
