Lucy Gowers of Youth Haven (Barrie)

Youth Haven is Simcoe County’s only emergency shelter dedicated specifically to supporting youth between the ages of 16 and 24 who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless. More than just a shelter, Youth Haven provides a safe and supportive environment where young people can access the resources they need to rebuild their lives. Services include emergency housing, case management, crisis intervention, mental health support, life skills training, education, employment and housing assistance, healthcare, outreach, and a transitional housing program.

Youth Haven is committed to empowering vulnerable youth to overcome adversity, break the cycle of homelessness, and build a path toward long-term stability. By working closely with community partners, local agencies, and donors, Youth Haven helps ensure that no young person is left without hope, support, or the opportunity for a better future.
