The almost $8 million in new funding represents a significant investment in addressing youth homelessness.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Vaughan, Member of Parliament for Spadina-Fort York, announced the Skills Link program funding on behalf of the Hon. Patty Hajdu, Minister of Employment Workforce Development and Labour. More than 1,300 youth and their families will take part in the project, which focuses on prevention of homelessness through early intervention and Housing First for Youth.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10385\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\">\n<div id=\"attachment_10385\" style=\"width: 459px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10385\" class=\"wp-image-10385\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/848\/2025\/01\/18-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"449\" height=\"299\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Above: From left, 快播视频 President-designate Rhonda Lenton; Faculty of Education Professor Stephen Gaetz, director of the Canadian Observatory on Homelessness and the Homeless Hub; Melanie Redman, executive director of A Way Home Canada; MP for Spadina-Fort York Colin Vaughan; and Robert Hache, vice-president research and innovation at 快播视频<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\n<\/div>\n<p>The project will be delivered through a partnership between national leaders on homelessness prevention including: <a href=\"http:\/\/awayhome.ca\/\">A Way Home Canada<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/homelesshub.ca\/\">Canadian Observatory on Homelessness<\/a> at 快播视频, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/impactinvesting.marsdd.com\/\">MaRS Centre for Impact Investing<\/a>, as well as the Provinces of Ontario and Alberta, and dozens of community partners.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the project, \u201cMaking the Shift: Reimagining the Response to Youth Homelessness Through Social Innovation,\u201d is to ensure that young people have housing stability as well as family and other supports to stay in school or access training and employment.<\/p>\n<p>In the first two years of the project, demonstration projects will take place in 10 Canadian cities: Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, Calgary, Edmonton, Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, Red Deer, Grande Prairie and Fort McMurray.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian Observatory on Homelessness, led by 快播视频 Professor Stephen Gaetz, will launch a Youth Homelessness Social Innovation Lab to oversee the demonstration projects and develop tools and resources to help other communities to do similar projects. \u00a0快播视频 will receive $1.45 million of the federal funding to run the lab, which will focus on knowledge mobilization, to ensure prevention models and Housing First for Youth take root at the policy and practice levels.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian Observatory on Homelessness issued a report recently that called for a major shift in addressing homelessness, to focus on prevention. This change in direction is important for young people in particular, according to the partners on the \u201cMaking the Shift\u201d project for which funding was announced today, because becoming homeless for a sustained period may affect a young person\u2019s health and wellbeing, their educational achievement and ultimately their ability to participate in the labour market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quotes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis project will help vulnerable youth build positive futures and develop the skills they need to contribute meaningfully to the workforce.
