YAA Foundations Project
With the assistance of NSW Youth homeless services, the YAA has put together a range of 'foundational' policies, tools, and ideas that can be modified, built upon to assist new or exisiting services.
The YAA Foundations Kit is a comprehensive collection of effective policies and procedures covering all aspects of running a youth accommodation service in NSW. It is a quick guide for organisations starting off or looking to review their policies and procedures.
The Foundations project is intended to be a forum for sharing ideas, to enhance service delivery for young people. In addition to the generic example policies, there are case studies of service models, local area innovations and client/case management tools.
This is an ongoing peice of work and to contribute or to comment please contact us.
The most up-to-date version of Foundations is available at the
Homelessness Clearinghouse.
