Yfoundations

Yfoundations is a peak body organisation of youth homelessness services in New South Wales, Australia. The organisation advocates on behalf of member organisations to governmental bodies and agencies to provide policy and structural advocacy, services for young people, health projects, and research and sector development.[1][2]

Founding

Yfoundations was founded in 1979 by eighteen youth homelessness services in New South Wales. The organisation was initially called Youth Refuge Action Group (YRAG), and changed its name several times over the years, including YRA, YRAA, YAA, and presently, Yfoundations. The organisations's founding members include Caretakers Cottage, Taldumande Youth Services and Young People's Refuge, the first of the NSW youth refuges.[2][3]
