Foyer Oxford Facilities
• A Community Building NOT a single use hostel
• Café and Retail space• Space for other service
providers• Training rooms and
common rooms for activities and education
The Foyer ‘Deal’
• Foyer is an ‘approach’ not a building
• Based on a ‘something for something’ contract: Commitment from young person matched with a Foyer Service Guarantee.
The Foyer ‘Deal’
• Establishes formal agreements with other providers (eg mental health) for wrap around support
• Creates an Aspirational Environment and Culture with high expectations.
Central Institute of Technology
• Specific course ‘Jumpstart’ developed for Foyer Oxford residents
• CIT already a key provider of literacy and numeracy programs
• Some great success in innovative programs
• Established links with other community services – e.g. David Wirrpanda Foundation
Interim Foyer• Opened Sept 2011• 14 young people in
existing accommodation in Mt Lawley and Highgate (3 offsite)
• Established until Foyer Oxford build complete
Replicates support model• 24/7 wrap around
support• Case management,
Activity provision, Overnight and Weekend supports
• A positive community environment
• Training through CIT
Trial and develop
• Learn in small scale before opening in large scale• Work out what works and what doesn’t in assisting young people out of
homelessness
Early Interim Foyer ResultsAs of June 2012• Total accom = 19• 79% engaged in EET of
some kind• 63% ‘improved or
maintained’ involvement in EET
• 10 job placements• 5 June 2012 ‘point in
time’ 11/14 (78%) yp in EET
Managing Scale – Aspirational Environment• Mix of clientelle.• Focus on community development, not just
case management.• Very strong strengths based approach.• Fast, high quality maintenance• Focus on our side of the ‘Foyer Deal’
Scale Benefits
• Economies of Scale – per bed ¼ the price of Crisis Accommodation
• Program development and wrap around resourcing (it makes sense for service providers to commit to partnership)
• Decreases opportunities for dependency• Opportunity for positive momentum
