About Us
"We believe that every young person deserves a safe and stable home environment," says Kim Brooklyn, CEO of Parkerville Children and Youth Care in Western Australia.
That's why, per a press release, the organization is launching Ruby's, an "innovative two and a half year pilot program dedicated to curbing youth homelessness in Perth."
The pilot program, which starts July 1, is designed to empower at-risk youth aged 12 to 17 and their families to prevent homelessness by fostering family stability and providing essential support to address the heightened risk of adult homelessness for individuals who experienced it in childhood.
The program focuses on family reunification and stability, and focuses on restoring the family unit, enhancing communication, and promoting cooperation among family members, and through customised support tailored to each family's needs.
An evaluation component will be implemented over the first two years to measure the program's impact and effectiveness in transforming the lives of young people and their families.
Ruby's will be offering safe accommodation for up to six young people per night, while working with the whole family to address the areas that are preventing the young person from living at home on a full time basis."
