Grateful to be working alongside @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social and our members to end youth homelessness in Ottawa by 2030.

Read this op-ed to learn about the amazing pilot project @ysb-bsj.bsky.social is running to help first-time shelter users find other options:
There is nothing more important than ensuring every young person in Ottawa has a safe place to call home. The need is urgent. The solution is within reach. Together, we can end youth homelessness in Ottawa by 2030. Learn more in my op-ed with @ottawacitizen.com

I pledge that by 2030, we will end youth homelessness in Ottawa. Nearly half of adults who experience homelessness were first homeless before 16. That’s why prevention and diversion are critical.

Je m’engage à ce qu’à l’horizon 2030, nous mettions fin à l’itinérance chez les jeunes à Ottawa. Près de la moitié des adultes en situation d’itinérance ont connu l’itinérance pour la première fois avant l’âge de 16 ans. C’est pourquoi la prévention et la réorientation sont essentielles.

Ottawa's @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social has pledged to end youth homelessness by 2030.

Ending youth homelessness is the first step toward ending all homelessness: Half of chronically homeless adults first experienced homelessness before they were 16.

We can, and will, end youth homelessness.
Ending youth homelessness by 2030 is entirely possible, and today I was so happy to see @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social and @ottawaalliance.bsky.social commit to that goal.

Preventing gender-based-violence helps prevent homelessness:

In Ottawa's 2024 Point-In-Time count, 2024 PiT count, 11% of the people researchers spoke to reported that they were homeless because of conflict with a partner/spouse.

In a city as vibrant as Ottawa, no one should be without a safe, affordable place to call home.

That’s why we're launching the Race to End Homelessness!

🧡 Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.

This year’s theme is Changing the Narrative on Suicide, reminding us that talking openly about mental health can break stigma, bring hope, and save lives.

At YSB, we’re here 24/7 to support youth and families who may be going through a tough time.
