JumpStart
We know that young Tasmanian’s are struggling more than ever to have a home. Rental availability and rental affordability are the major drivers of youth housing crisis and homelessness.
The option to move into a cheap share house with friends while working casually and studying is gone… because affordable options are no longer available.
That’s where we can help.
We’ve started to pilot a rental support program in Tasmania for 18–24-year old’s who are ready for independent living while working or learning a trade.
