Why Queensland is banking on 'Youth Foyers' to combat the growing homelessness crisis

On Youth Homelessness Matters Day, Queensland Housing Minister Sam O'Connor joined Jason Matthews on 4BC Mornings to announce plans for new 'Youth Foyers' in Ipswich and Chermside to provide secure, subsidised housing for young people engaged in education or employment.  The segment also tackled the state's broader housing crisis, with O'Connor defending the removal of private developer mandates and addressing the recent mould-damaged modular housing debacle in Cairns.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
