A York Region community where youth feel safe and supported by nurturing independence and fostering empowerment.
OUR VISION IS:
To create a network of partners that collaborate to bring about informed projects, with the common goal of reducing and preventing youth homelessness.
OUR MISSION IS:
The Youth Homelessness Prevention and Housing Stabilization Strategy (YHPHSS) is a collective impact that has been jointly funded by Jalynn H Bennett Social Change Fund, Laidlaw – Youth CI, and Minto Foundation.
This is a 10-year plan developed to implement a cross-sectoral strategy to prevent & reduce youth homelessness across York Region.
What is the Youth Strategy?
The goal of the strategy is to support the community to develop a system of care that involves service coordination and system transformation for youth at-risk of or experiencing homelessness in York Region.
This can be accomplished through the development of a community-wide strategy to effectively prevent youth homelessness in York Region and shorten the amount of time a young person experiences homelessness, should it occur.
Community Impact
We work collaboratively with the community, agencies, stakeholders as well as youth who were at risk or have lived experiences of homelessness.
There are many ways for you to help to create positive impact.
