With help from Thriving Families, Sharla-Kim set up a home of her own just in time for baby Ezra’s arrival.

YFS is trialling a new approach to working with homeless families with very young children.

The Thriving Families Project backs families to find housing fast then create nurturing family environments where all family members can flourish.

YFS has self-funded the Thriving Families Project to date.

Now we need your help.

Could you contribute to this important work?

Your donation will help us continue the project.

We think it’s the way of the future to break cycles of homelessness and disadvantage for vulnerable families.

The interim evaluation indicates the program is cost efficient and effective.

And for families like Sharla-Kim and Ezra it’s a chance to create a safe home and a good life.
