The need to establish a youth housing service can arise through a crisis or out of experience of particular communities. Having determined that there is a need, the next step is to decide how best to meet that need. This process initially proceeds from the organization's philosophy, values, and analysis of the situation. Most organizations recognize that young people's housing needs can not be seen in isolation, but involve a range of issues beyond housing. Therefore there is a diversity of youth housing services in Australia, such as crisis accommodation, work experience, foster care, and education courses. The philosophy of some youth housing services emphasizes the young person's right to independence, however many have a range of workers providing support to the residents. Management structures vary from collectives to elected community based committees of management. All organizations have volunteers involved in the management of the service in one form or another. Methods for evaluating services include special report by subcommittee of the management committee, monthly reports by staff, and two monthly evaluations by the organization.
