Youth Crisis Accommodation for Young People and Young Parenting Families
"welcome to chameleon youth housing"
We are a specialist homeless service and cater for both male and female residents aged 16-25 years old. In some circumstances we may support young people under 16 years of age to ensure their immediate welfare and safety. Periods of stay are assessed on a needs basis. Chameleon Youth Housing supports a large number of young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
Referral process is strictly by phone or email only.
our programs
Guys and Gals Offering Assistance & Lending Support – Our strengths based program is driven by the needs and interests of the mentee rather than the expectations of others. Our program is based on a ‘developmental’ mentoring approach – our mentors get to know the person, are flexible in their expectations and take their cues from the mentees. The mentees goals are paramount. The program is open to males and females aged from 10 years and upwards and provides one on one support including the following:-
- Role modelling
- Developing life management skills, such as decision making and problem solving, communication/social skills, managing time and goal setting.
- Building living skills, such as cooking, hygiene and focusing on specific goals.
- Support for families, siblings, parents.
- Recreational activities, camps, social outings… and much more.
Whats your favourite meal?
Chameleon House and our friends in the Community have compiled a few of our favourites to produce a cook book suitably named Home Cooking from the Heart of the Community.
Some of our young people have added their favourites that they have cooked and perfected as part of our living skills program. All recipes are nutritious and easy to follow.
