Liz Cameron-Smith is the co-CEO of The Foyer Foundation, a national organisation that unlocks thriving futures for young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
Youth Foyers offer 16-24 year olds a safe and stable place to live for up to two years, integrating housing, education, employment and life skills support, all under one roof. The Foyer Foundation builds the national evidence base, assures quality of Youth Foyers through a robust accreditation system, and convenes Foyer Invest - a growing national network of community housing providers, service providers, young people, philanthropists and investors to grow the reach and impact of Youth Foyers to 50 by 2030.
