YouthLink Shelter
Our shelter program provides youth with emergency shelter.
Program Overview
We provide youth in need with a bed and connect you with a case manager and a housing worker.
Our shelters are available to youth aged 16-24 and their pets.
How soon can you enter the shelter?
We move young people in as beds become available. Currently, we are at capacity so there is a waitlist, managed by City of Toronto’s Central Intake. Please call Central Intake at 416-338-4766, 1-877-338-3398 or by dialing 311 to access an available bed in the youth shelter system, or to inquire about wait times.
