La Presse: Youth in the care of the Youth Protection Services at risk of homelessness

🛑 Preventing homelessness starts long before it reaches the streets. In Laval, inspiring initiatives show that it's possible to take action to prevent homelessness by supporting young people leaving the youth protection system (DPJ) as they transition to adulthood. Again, this means putting the needs of young people at the heart of our practices.

The article in La Presse highlights concrete efforts that align with the recommendations of the Coalition Jeunes+ :

✅ Offering sustainable and personalized support

✅ Respect for the rights and pace of young people

✅ Collaboration between youth groups, between community and institutional settings
