Who We Are

A Community of Care, Support, and Shared Responsibility

Oasis Youth Care exists to ensure that every young person has more than a bed to sleep in — they have a future to wake up to. We respond to youth homelessness with compassion, structure, and a commitment to long-term transformation.

We don’t believe housing alone is the solution. By walking alongside young people through crisis, growth, and independence, we help turn homes into foundations for healing, purpose, and belonging.

What Sets Us Apart:

Holistic, Evidence-Based Care: Our approach integrates housing with empowerment and mentorship, informed by the internationally recognised Foyer Model and adapted through trauma-informed, culturally aware care.
