Welcome to the Summer Foundation |

The key aim of the Summer Foundation is to change human service policy and practice related to young people in nursing homes (YPINH). We utilise a range of strategies to influence health, housing and disability services policy and practice related to this target group.
We want a range of creative and innovative solutions to enable young people in nursing homes to actively participate in the community and have a real choice about where they live.
In Victoria, approximately 70 people under 50 are admitted to aged care each year. There needs to be systemic change and a dramatic increase in the number of supported housing options in this state to stem the flow of young people into aged care.
