Lobbying activity details:
Discussions with officials with regards to advancing youth homelessness prevention projects with the Government of Canada through funding programs such as Youth Employment and Skills Strategy (YESS) and Youth Mental Health Fund.
Advocating to establish a fully funded youth homelessness prevention strategy and advocating for funding for programs, mechanisms, and projects for youth homelessness prevention
Working with all orders of government, communities, services providers and philanthropy to create a policy, investment and service environment that enables a shift away from simply “managing” the problem of youth homelessness through emergency services to a more proactive, rights-based approach that focuses on prevention and helping those who are homeless move into housing with supports as rapidly as possible in a safe and planned way.
A Way Home Canada, in partnership with the Home Depot Canada Foundation, aims to advance federal policy change and increased investment in evidence-based youth homelessness prevention.
