Help Catherine raise money

November 8, 2023, me … boxing! in the third annual Fight to End Homelessness!

Sometimes it is just not possible to "crunch the numbers" enough to make ends meet, especially if you don’t have support or resources. With rising housing costs, it’s getting harder and harder for younger people to afford a place to live.

But Youth Opportunities Unlimited (YOU) knows it takes more than a roof or affordable rent to change a life.

That’s why the vision of Joan’s Place is to help young people escape homelessness and create a new cycle, for themselves and their young families. With a wraparound model of care, this new downtown hub will allow youth to be exactly that: young people - learning, gaining experience and growing.

In addition to providing housing, Joan’s Place will bring together dozens of local organizations that offer youth primary and mental health care, addiction services, education, employment, and housing supports in an innovative Youth Wellness Hub, ensuring young people can access the key services they need at the most vulnerable time of their lives, and as quickly and conveniently as possible.

Joan’s Place is a safe and affordable home for youth, young mothers and mothers-to-be, who are experiencing, or at risk of experiencing homelessness.
