YiSSA Closure Threatens Hundreds | Adelaide News

Hundreds of vulnerable residents, including children and those fleeing domestic violence, face imminent eviction from Darwin’s critical short-stay facility YiSSA—set to close October 11—with no clear plan for their futures. As over 300 others wait on a desperate list, the Commonwealth offers to co-fund the center’s purchase, but negotiations have stalled amid NT government concerns about aging infrastructure. Residents feel abandoned, likening themselves to refugees in their own country, while Aboriginal advocates warn closing YiSSA will worsen Australia’s highest homelessness crisis, risking further instability and strain on emergency services. With no transition plan announced, desperation grows as the deadline nears.
