Youth Housing Program
Youth Housing Program
The Youth Housing Program is funded by the City of Yellowknife with Reaching Home Funding.
​
This program is open to youth 16-24 who are in need of a safe space to live. There are multiple housing and apartment units throughout Yellowknife that are available for youth to live with their partner/children/independently/with roommates. Youth receive support from program staff to ensure they are caring for themselves and learning the required skills necessary to live semi-independently or independently.
