Foyer Central and City Road

26-30 City Road, Chippendale

NatHERS:

This five-storey, 73-unit development completed in January 2021, is an innovative youth housing model which provides 53 self-contained units for young people (aged 18-22), who are exiting out-of-home care and are at risk of homelessness.

It is a unique partnership between the NSW Government, not-for-profit and private sectors to give at-risk young people an opportunity to dream big and reach their potential.

The development also provides 20 affordable housing units for low-income key workers.

Partners for Foyer Central project are the City of Sydney, NSW Department Communities and Justice, NSW Office of Social Impact Investment, Uniting and Social Ventures Australia.

“Investing in young people at a pivotal point in their lives reduces their dependence on government services in the future – saving money across vital public services and benefitting the entire NSW community.”

Because my work and uni commitments are in the CBD, it was difficult for me to find a property within my budget without a long commute – in the private rental market, it was almost impossible. This home is new and safe, and it’s also much cheaper than most apartments in the area. It also means I have more time for my family and personal life, as I’ve reclaimed hours each day that I was spending commuting from Western Sydney.
