MercyCare supports people throughout life’s journey as a leading Western Australian not-for-profit provider of family and community services, early learning, aged care, and disability services. Through our youth services, we provide medium-term (up to nine months), 24-hour youth supported accommodation for young people aged 16–19 years who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness; and medium-term accommodation for single mothers aged 16–25 years. We walk alongside young people and empower them to learn new skills and build their confidence, self-esteem, strong relationships and support networks for moving into private or shared accommodation and adulthood. Our Young Mothers Program has a focus on parenting skills, securing long term tenancy and improved health and wellbeing. Our Youth Support Service provides free assistance to young people aged 16– 25 years to obtain their own private rental in the mainstream rental market and/or maintain their current accommodation. Young people aged 16–18 years old with no rental history can be supported to access shared and transitional accommodation options through MercyCare or one of our partner housing providers.
