Youngcare Grants - stay home, move home or make a house a home

At Home Care Grants (AHCG)

Youngcare’s At Home Care Grants program is critical in keeping young people at home with their families, and preventing new admissions to inappropriate housing. The grants provide one-off funding up to $10,000 for equipment, home modifications and essential support/respite that is unable to be funded through other means (e.g.. NDIS) and goes beyond items that are considered ‘reasonable and necessary’, instead focusing on increasing support and quality of life.

Home Support Grants (HSG)

The Youngcare Home Support Grants provide essential funding that is critical for people to return to the community from inappropriate housing such as aged care. Up to $10,000 ($20,000 is available in extreme situations) for essential equipment, home modifications and services, household items and utilities to ensure an increase in the individuals quality of life. This grant aims to bridge the gap in essential services where there is clear evidence of need, or during the transitional period while individuals gain access to the NDIS.
