We’re proud to partner with The Toni Kohn-Woodward Foundation to operate The Toni Kohn House (Toni’s House), a live-in housing initiative where we support female youth on the journey to find their way.

At Toni’s House, we provide long-term housing and comprehensive support in a home-like environment to young women who are at risk of experiencing life on the street. Before entering the program, youth may be experiencing considerable housing instability, and be in need of support to overcome challenges related to trauma, family conflict, historic violence, and exploitation, as well as be actively seeking support in maintaining sobriety.

If you are ages 16 to 22, have Children’s Services status and are transitioning out of foster care or a community group home, this program is designed for you. The Youth Transitions to Adulthood (YTA) program will help you build the skills needed to live independently while you set goals, find appropriate accommodation, enhance life skills, continue education or find jobs, build positive relationships and connect with supports in the community.

Our goal in the YTA program is to provide young people transitioning to adulthood with the support and skills needed to lead self-sufficient, successful lives.
