Youth Foyer

BROADMEADOWS

2013

The Youth Foyer is a concept that originated in France, and has blossomed throughout the UK. The essence of the Foyer is the creation of a facility that provides assisted housing for young people aged 16-25 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness,  combined with a commitment to ongoing education. Education is the essential differentiator between the Foyer and other forms of assisted accommodation.

​

The Broadmeadows Foyer is the first of three being piloted by the Victorian State Government. The Broadmeadows Foyer has 40 single occupancy units - individual studio apartments complete with a kitchen, a bathroom, a study area and a living space. In addition to the individual private areas, a range of breakout spaces and programme spaces are provided, including a training kitchen and large lounge on the ground floor. A multi-purpose training room, interview rooms, open plan office for staff and other shared facilities are also provided to support the occupants and the immediate Broadmeadows community through continual engagement.
