YFS Ltd

At YFS, we back people not just to overcome adversity, but to thrive. We know everyone needs secure housing, a decent income and safe relationships. But we also understand the importance of skills, connections and hope. 70% of people who contact YFS have housing issues. By the time they leave us, 80% are securely housed, 80% feel safer and 85% report improved financial wellbeing. We achieve these outcomes through integrated services and partnerships. For example, families escaping domestic violence work with our domestic violence counsellors, financial counsellors, housing specialists and employment advisors. Our evaluations show integrated approaches are cost effective. They break intergenerational cycles of disadvantage and crisis. We have been doing this work in Logan since 1983. We're well run, with strong management, skilled staff, firm governance and an established reputation as a trusted provider of high-quality services.
