| Brief History | Due to open in May 1985, Youth Household was a rented house in the city of Perth, taking up to five 16-21 year olds of both sexes for medium-term supported accommodation. This facility closed in 1988, and at that time Mofflyn was “seeking to establish a specialised youth house in the Belmont / Cloverdale area.” (Report on the Activities of the Consultative Committee on Residential Child Care in 1987/88, November 1988).
Funding for this service has been provided through the Youth Supported Accommodation Program, which was a sub-program of the Commonwealth/State funded Supported Accommodation Assistance Program. [For notes on this program see the section on NAHA/SAAP at the beginning of Signposts]. |
