About this service
Youth Reconnect is the only youth homelessness prevention program in the Durham Region and is modelled on the highly successful Youth Reconnect program offered by the RAFT in Niagara.
Youth and their families that may be at risk of experiencing a breakdown that would result in them being homeless have the opportunity to work with a counsellor who will help them remain at home. The Youth Reconnect Counsellor works intensively with the youth, their parents, caregivers, family members or other supports in order to help them keep their family intact.
Shelter diversion is the practice of working more intensively with youth in need of a shelter bed in order to find an alternate place for them to stay. Youth that stay at a shelter for even one day are more likely to become chronically homeless.
