Transitions for Youth to Adulthood - Youth 16-19

Transitioning from youth into adulthood can be a scary and vulnerable time for those in the best of circumstances, and even harder when young people are forced to face this change alone. Transitions for Youth to Adulthood (TYA) supports young people aged 16 to 19 whose support services from the Ministry of Child and Family Development are coming to an end. Referrals accepted through Social Workers.

Directions Youth Haven

Youth Haven is a five-bed house that offers emergency housing to high-risk youth age 16 to 19.

Youth Haven provides homeless and at-risk youth with immediate access to youth workers offering individualized support, alongside Vancouver Coastal Health’s Integrated Case Management Team, which includes a Nurse Practitioner, a Youth Concurrent Clinician, and an Indigenous Elder. Haven is a low-barrier program that welcomes youth who may face barriers elsewhere due to current substance use, pets, or other individual needs.

Directions Youth Safehouse

Youth Safehouse is a nine-bed house that provides secure and stable emergency housing for at-risk youth ages 16 to 18.

At Safehouse, we work with youth to help them secure income assistance, mental health and substance use supports, find permanent housing, and get connected with other help they need. Often the youth who come to us are in crisis, having left a home that was no longer safe, and/or their family relationships have broken down. Youth Safehouse is an extremely low-barrier program: this means youth are always welcomed and supported, no matter what their condition.
