Home Stretch WA Trial

The Home Stretch WA Trial is developing and testing an enhanced support system for young people transitioning from out-of-home care, providing them with additional support and resources from 18 years to when they turn 21 years of age. The Trial will improve care leavers’ access to housing, health, education, training and employment through the provision of practical one-on-one assistance.


One of the critical elements of the trial is to support young people to find and maintain safe and stable housing, and to support young people to have some flexibility and choice in their living arrangements. This support will include 1:1 assistance from the Transition Coach, and also financial support to sustain housing through payment of a subsidy.


JOIN THEM


The Home Stretch WA Team, with guidance from the Youth Advisory Group, have been working on developing a prototype subsidy that we will test as part of the Home Stretch Trial. We would like to take you on a walk through our thinking, and invite you to contribute and critique the prototype we have developed.


The Housing Subsidy prototype includes some of the process and practice that young people will experience in accessing the subsidy, the principles that underpin and govern the provision of a subsidy and the outcomes we hope to see.
