Making the transition from living in a home or group setting, to living independently can be scary for all of us. In today\u2019s world there is tremendous pressure to manage day-to-day living as adults. Imagine having to do it at a young age, with limited skills and resources to manage on your own. For some of our youth this is a reality, and the thought of living self-sufficiently can seem overwhelming.<\/p>\n

Our transitional housing program helps our youth develop real-life skills in a supportive and caring environment, giving them the tools needed to succeed in their own home. Our programs are designed to build confidence, competence and the ability to handle everyday tasks and empower them with the necessary skills to become successful adults.<\/p>\n

Our Transitional Housing Program helps our young people in need develop real-life skills in a supportive and caring environment, giving them the tools needed to succeed in their own home. We offer five on-site transitional beds to youth who may require extra time and skill development to become successful adults in our community.<\/p>\n

For inquiries about our transitional housing program, please fill out the application below or call us at (705) 739-7686<\/a>.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Emergency Shelter” tab_id=”emergency-care-housing”][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1477465824393{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” el_class=”padding20px”][vc_column_inner el_class=”paddingleftright15″][vc_custom_heading text=”Emergency Shelter” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:35px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:40px” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%20Slab%3A100%2C300%2Cregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text el_class=”size20 whitetxt robotolight”]<\/p>\n

The first thing anyone facing homelessness needs is housing. Our emergency housing is for youth between 16 and 24 who are fleeing an unsafe home environment, those who have lost their housing, and young people who have spent time on the streets. Youth Haven\u2019s house features 10 beds for those identifying as young men and 6 beds for those identifying as young women.<\/p>\n

We want our youth to feel welcome and proud of themselves for the courage to take action and seek assistance to improve their lives. When a young person in need comes to stay at Youth Haven they receive clothes, food, personal need items such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, and shampoo, and bedding when they arrive. They are offered the opportunity to speak to a youth worker right away for pressing needs, or unwind and rest.<\/p>\n

Volunteer doctors from the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre Family Teaching Unit provide healthcare to Youth Haven residents on-site.<\/p>\n

Many youth lack access to primary care, and many others avoid it due to shame and embarrassment, fear, and a lack of awareness of their needs. The health care clinic provides our youth with full exams, medication dispensing and monitoring, advice and information about personal care, and referrals for more intense physical needs.<\/p>\n

Our counsellors help our youth navigate a complex world of emotions and teach them coping skills they need to manage the world they live in.

Every step along their Youth Haven journey is an opportunity for the youth to learn, grow, and develop confidence. Through our life skills training, we work with the youth on fostering self-esteem, building resilience and developing healthy habits. We are helping youth through a traumatic time and guiding them into successful adulthood. The youth are taught life skills such as cooking meals and washing dishes, doing laundry and cleaning the house as well as learning effective communication skills, how to manage their money and help them prepare for work and\/or continue their education. <\/span><\/p>\n

Youth Haven staff work with the youth to establish goals and break them down into manageable tasks that can be completed in a relatively short period of time. This is helpful to move the youth forward in their journey of obtaining the resources needed to get back on their feet. We also work together on developing good habits, planning out their goals, learning problem solving techniques and working towards achieving life-long success.<\/p>\n
