A Hunter indigenous services organisation says the problem of homelessness among Aboriginal youth in the region is far greater than most people realise.

The Ungooroo Aboriginal Corporation runs a Specialist Homelessness Service in the Hunter for young Aboriginal people between the ages of 12 and 25.

It is currently assisting dozens of young people across the valley who need support to enter the private rental market.

Ungooroo youth support officer Greg James said the program aims to empower youth.

"A lot of our clients are transitional of course," he said.

"They travel across and throughout the Hunter region which can be difficult at times for us but we have a cross coordination approach to counter this.

"They can be walk in clients, they can be self-referred, also from GPs as well."

The homelessness service aims to use early intervention and intense case management strategies to get young people into the housing market.

Mr James said they are currently helping more than 40 young people across the valley.

"Rapidly growing of course, we're expecting out figures to escalate given the warm weather," he said.

"Previously our statistics have shown us that our numbers increase a little bit during the warm weather.

"I don't know why that reason is."
