Supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Youth
Our goal is to create a housing solution in the Townsville region, focused on assisting young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals who have completed their high school studies, and are about to commence independent living.
More than just accommodation, this hub will offer tailored support to residents, helping them navigate life after relocating from regional & remote communities across Queensland.
Our Model
Set to Succeed aspires to provide safe and affordable housing, while at the same time, teach all the life skills required to live an independent and meaningful life beyond S2S support.
