This service operating as Connecting Home Youth, delivers support to young people aged 16 to 24 years who are homeless or at risk of homelessness across the Northern NSW District. It also supports young women and their children experiencing domestic and family violence, women who are pregnant and those leaving out of home care or institutional settings.

It provides client-centred homelessness support services, including prevention and early intervention, crisis and transitional accommodation, and intensive responses for clients with complex needs.

It provides wraparound support by working with people accessing services and reengaging with other agencies and organisations to ensure diverse support to improve and cover all such as drug and alcohol, mental health, gambling.

This service has a strong focus on supporting Aboriginal people and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
