The Glen Innes Supported Youth Accommodation project (SAAP) provides housing and support to young people aged 16-25 years who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

Young people stay at the Glen Innes home for up to a maximum of 2 years. During this time, the young people are assisted to:

• achieve their personal goals
• address issues effecting their lives including those which contributed to them becoming homeless
• develop skills to enable them to live independently
• transition to independent, safe and affordable housing
• re-establish family links (if appropriate)

Lead Tenant

The Glen Innes Supported Youth Accommodation Program is supported by a volunteer from the community who lives in the house as a 'lead tenant'. The 'lead tenant' provides a safe, caring and supportivie living environment and assists the young people to further develop their independence.

House Manager

The House Manager assists the young people to achieve:

• independent living through emotional support and personal development
• education and training qualifications
• living skills

Referral processes to appropriate services are made according to individual needs.

The House Manager supervises and supports the Lead Tenant.

Young people are assessed for eligibility for the SAAP by the House Manager.
