Housing Solutions for Youth
Domestic Violence & Homelessness
Access to affordable housing is one of the leading barriers that prevents youth from escaping relationships marked by domestic violence. Survivors have unique housing needs & challenges in accessing social housing programs.
We’re here to meet those needs.
Youth Homelessness
Youth homelessness refers to young people between the ages of 13 and 24 who are living independently, and lack many of the resources and social supports deemed necessary for the transition from childhood to adulthood.
We have programs to fill the gap.
Hestia Homes
Hestia Homes Program supports and empowers young adults who have experienced homelessness or have the potential of becoming homeless. Residents learn how to focus on goals and gain skills so that they can successfully transition to independent living.
Hestia Homes meets the needs of young adults ages 17 – 24 through a range of flexible, experiential and individualized permanent supportive housing opportunities. The program is comprised of three houses – Sunrise House, Sunrise II, and Sunrise III, all located within the City of Lethbridge.
An adult role model lives in each home to provide youth with assistance and to serve as a mentor.
Give the gift of a home.
Provide vital skills & connections to women & youth experiencing homelessness
