Alice Springs Youth Accommodation and Support Services Inc

Who are we
Alice Springs Youth Accommodation and Support Services Inc. (ASYASS) is a non-profit, community focused organization that has helped young people in Central Australia for over thirty years. ASYASS believes that all young people have a right to secure, appropriate and affordable housing regardless of who they are, where they come from, race, ethnicity, culture, and sexual orientation.

ASYASS believes that all people have a right to secure, appropriate and affordable housing. Many young people are often disadvantaged in their access to housing through factors such as inexperience, family crisis and breakdown, financial insecurity and community prejudice.
Homelessness is defined by ASYASS as being physically without shelter, or in housing that poses a threat to a person’s physical, mental or emotional wellbeing. This also includes people who are unable to find housing and may be perpetually insecure.

Therefore, ASYASS seeks to ensure that young people have equal opportunity and are supported to obtain safe, secure, affordable and accessible housing.

ASYASS staff work in partnership with a wide range of local organisations and individuals to deliver a number of programs and services that assist young people and the community.
