Approximately 20 percent of Canada’s homeless population is youth aged 13 to 24. Studies have shown that homelessness poses significant risks for youth, including sexual exploitation, economic exploitation, traumatic events, declining health and addictions. As 35,000 youth become homeless within a calendar year, The Canadian Courage Project strives to provide relief to these youth and their animal companions.
Below are a number of resources available for homeless youth:
