PIF is in the process of entering into a long-term lease with the City of Sydney to secure the subject site (a 4-level, 19-bed apartment) for the provision of transitional housing for homeless youth (aged 25 and under).
The Salvation Army will operate the premises as a stepping stone for young people who are entering from crisis accommodation into a transitional home for stability.
The proposed development will offer the opportunity to deliver safe, appropriate and affordable accommodation alongside case management that is responsive to the changing needs of young people and that maximises opportunities for young people to sustain their tenancies.
Our role
Essence is providing PIF with project management services, including the pro-bono engagement of the consultant team, liaison with authorities, DA preparation, design development management, tender and superintendency.
