Directions Youth Shelter
Emergency shelter provides 12 beds for youth ages 19 to 24 of all genders who are homeless, street entrenched, or at risk of homelessness. There is a draw for available beds at 8 pm each night; intake is required ahead of time if youth are not already clients receiving FSGV services. Shelter hours are 9 pm to 9 am, seven days a week; curfew is 11 pm. Low-barrier shelter; substance use not permitted in shelter, but youth can come in when under the influence. Services include laundry facilities, showers, clothing, toiletries, one-to-one peer counselling, an on-staff clinical counsellor, information and referral, and hot meals. There is limited accommodation for up to four pets that will be kennelled separately from the shelter. Not fully accessible, as this is a bunk program. Also operates an extreme weather response (EWR) shelter between October 15 and April 15 when weather is extreme.
