Right now, nearly 40,000 youth are homeless in Canada.

Together, we can shelter dignity and help transform the lives of BIPOC youth in Peel Region.

Youth who age out of the foster system become 200x more likely to experience homelessness than their peers.

Stigma, systematic prejudice, social inequity and gaps in public services put BIPOC, LGTBQ+ and marginalized youth at further risk. With your support, we can bridge this gap and help them shape new realities for themselves and others

We empower youth.


We are a black-led, BIPOC-serving charitable organization on a mission to end youth homelessness in Peel Region. We provide transitional housing and support services to youth experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including those leaving the public care system.

 

“I am forever grateful for the opportunity Rest Centres has given me … I know I can still get back on my feet, because I still have hope. I am a survivor and there is so much I want to share with the world, but for now I need all the help I can get. ”

Zach, 25
