The Outreach Team seeks out young people living on the streets, in Single Room Occupancy Units (SROs), or those at risk of becoming homeless. The Outreach Team builds trust with the youth, lets them know about our programs like our Drop-In Centre where they can get something to eat, have a shower, and do their laundry, all while receiving support from caring staff and volunteers.
Our Crisis Program offers safe housing, food, clothing, and counselling to young people aged 16 – 24. We take care of their immediate needs first, which are often food and rest. We encourage and work with youth to create their own plan for independence and we support them every step of the way.
Rights of Passage (ROP) is a longer-term transitional living program for young people who need housing, structure, and support as they strive toward independence.
