Youth Housing

Youth Transitions to Adulthood (YTA)

Youth Transition to Adulthood (YTA)’s specific goals are to provide youth with Children and Family Services Status, ages 16-24, with a safe, supportive home environment where they can continue to increase their level of education, develop life skills and natural supports that will transition them into adult self-sufficiency.

Haven’s Way

Haven’s Way provides young women with a safe, supportive home environment where they can begin to heal, increase their level of education, and develop life skills and a support system that will transition them into adult self-sufficiency. Youth live with house parents or with a supportive roommate who assists them in daily living.

Haven’s Way is a community-based youth residential program made possible by an innovative partnership between Safe Haven Foundation and Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary.

Toni’s House

Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary is proud to join The Toni Kohn-Woodward Foundation with  to operate The Toni Kohn House, a live in housing initiative to support young women struggling to find their way.

The Toni Kohn House provides long-term housing and comprehensive supports in a home-like environment to young women who are at risk of living a life on the street. These young women, may be experiencing considerable housing instability, alongside additional risks such as addictions, trauma, family conflict, violence and exploitation. They are youth who are committed to building self confidence and independence to live their best life.

The Infinity Project

The Infinity Project provides youth, ages 16 to 24, with a permanent home and the supports they need to maintain it. Youth are given the freedom to live as they choose in the home and community of their choice. Through the Infinity Project, youth are freed from the chaos of street life, begin to see their potential and realize that their lives are filled with endless opportunities.

Home Fire

Home Fire provides Indigenous youth, ages 16 to 24, who are experiencing homelessness with a home where they can begin to heal, build community and reconnect with culture and family. Through this initiative, we endeavour to help Indigenous youth reconnect with or create their “Home Fire” by building community and family using a Housing First approach.

Aura

LGBTQ2S+ youth are overrepresented in the homeless population and often avoid accessing services because of concerns of homophobia, biphobia and transphobia.

Aura provides youth with a safe place where their sexual orientation and gender identity is respected and celebrated. Young people will have the opportunity to live in a supportive and affirming environment where they can strengthen their relationships with natural supports, connect to their community and end their experience of homelessness.
