North of the Spit Bridge, there is no crisis accommodation available for young people who find themselves unexpectedly homeless. Because it is an affluent area, people assume there is little to no youth homelessness, but this is not the case. There are options available for those living on the streets in the Northern Beaches, but none that accommodates, or is suitable for young people. This is a petition to raise awareness of, and support the need for at least one refuge offering young people accommodation in times of crisis on the Northern Beaches.
We are approaching one hundred signatures which is the threshold required to trigger a formal response from the local planning committee. Please direct contacts in the Northern Beaches area to this page so we can finalize our submission packet for the upcoming council review.

Bout time. Everyone thinks the beaches is just rich people but there are plenty of kids falling through the cracks here. Fix this now.

My son ended up on the street after a massive argument and we couldnt find anywhere for him to go locally. Had to send him all the way to the city. Its completely wrong.

Living in manley my whole life and people dont realize how many kids are actually sleeping in cars. Its sad that we pretend everything is perfect because of the real estate prices.

Ridiculous that there isnt a single place for youth here. Stop ignoring the problem just cause it ruins the look of the area.

So needed. These kids deserve a safe place to sleep without having to leave their entire support network behind.

Total disgrace. We have enough money in this area to look after our own kids. Build the refuge.
