How We Help

Since our grassroots origin in 1986 Youth Without Shelter (YWS) has helped more than 16,000 vulnerable youth (aged 16 – 24) to build their confidence and life-skills and to find long-term stable housing and jobs. We are a house where a youth’s culture and needs are understood, and where each youth can receive practical support, guidance, mental health and wellness support, and training through a wrap-around model of programs. All operations are trauma-informed and designed to be youth-centric, build self-esteem and resiliency, and focus on personal strengths.
