Toowoomba’s long-standing residential facility for young people experiencing homelessness is celebrating a new home of its own.

The Haven and its six support staff will join local not-for-profit organisation YellowBridge QLD. The official partnership commenced today.

The merger is a strategic step to secure The Haven’s long-term viability by collaborating with a larger organisation that shares similar values and a commitment to youth.

YellowBridge QLD Chief Executive Officer Penny Hamilton said The Haven’s youth program would join the organisation’s existing programs in community housing, disability support and elderly home services.
