Kennedy House Youth Shelter By alvaro | November 4, 2021 Kennedy House Youth Shelter We provide emergency shelter and essential services for youth ages 16–24 experiencing homelessness. Beyond meeting immediate needs like safety, meals, and clothing, we address the many factors that contribute to homelessness by meeting youth where they’re at and offering tailored supports. Programming includes financial literacy courses, cooking classes, art therapy, one-on-one counselling, substance abuse and harm reduction support, sexual education classes, and more. Through these services, we help youth stay healthy, gain employment, secure permanent housing, and build the skills and confidence they need to succeed independently—so when they leave us, they break the cycle of homelessness.
