Exciting! DYS received $429,800 through the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s (OTF) Grow grant stream to expand our highly effective school-based housing support program (92% success rate finding safe/stable housing)! And Congrats to Black Queens of Durham - another OTF recipient!

On May 7, Canada observes National Child and Youth Mental Health Day, a day dedicated to fostering connections with our youth while dismantling the stigma surrounding their access to mental health support.

🎉 Thank You, Whitby Sunrise Rotary We’re incredibly grateful for your generous $4,300 donation toward our Extending Our Youth Housing Solutions Project. Pictured here is Linda from DYS (L) and Lianne from Rotary Club of Whitby Sunrise (R)

Finding safe housing is exciting, but also intimidating. A “Fresh Start Kit” filled with household basics helps keep youth focused on the positive steps they are taking. Ajax Mayor's Gala generous donation is helping provide these kits to youth making a ‘fresh start’. ThankYou!
