Lifestyle and Housing

Young people experiencing housing concerns or are at risk of homelessness, should always contact their local area entry point (opening door) which you can find out by calling 1800 825 955. MOIRA can offer interim response housing support to young people to assist them to do this as required.

MOIRA is also able to provide support to access crisis accommodation and support you to locate and secure alternate housing options.

Housing Assistance Program

The Housing Assistance Program is a flexibly funded rent assistance program where you can be supported with your rent payments (in some cases up to between 25% – 75% of your rent) for a period of time to help get you on your feet and into the private rental market.
Rental payment support is structured in a step up model, decreasing in amount as financial independence and length of the tenancy increase.

Is it for me?
If you are aged 16-20, have had an out of home care experience, and would like to live in a private rental then yes!
