Youth homelessness matters day campaign

An annual nation-wide campaign aimed at bringing the issue of youth homelessness to the public arena while also providing a mechanism that allows the general public to get involved.

In 2026, the campaign will culminate in a national awareness day for youth homelessness in the middle of National Youth Week on 15 April, 2026.

On any given night, around Australia, 105,000 people don’t have a place to call home. 42% of the homelessness population is under the age of 25. Youth homelessness is not inevitable. With coordinated and targeted efforts, Yfoundations believes youth homelessness can be something of the past.
