Home Horizon is a charitable organization in Collingwood, Ontario, serving the South Georgian Bay communities.
Our mission:
Home Horizon creates a community where youth who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness are supported and empowered with the resources and skills to transition into adulthood. As a community, we break the cycle of youth homelessness with hope, safety, and growth.
Home Horizon's Barbara Weider House (BWH) is helping guide youth from homelessness to hope. BWH is a 10-bedroom transitional home for youth aged 16-24 facing homelessnes in our community. BWH is bridging the critical gap between emergency shelter & independent living. At the BWH we take care of immediate needs and offer youth the chance to change the direction of their lives. In addition to providing a safe, stable and affordable housing, we provide health and life skills education, mentorship, mental health expertise and individualized support plans for local, at-risk youth that help them to set realistic goals and teach them skills that last a lifetime. The BWH is the only facility in our community dedicated to serving homeless youth.
Home Horizon’s Youth Outreach Program takes a specialized, client centered approach to Youth Homelessness. The program began in 2020, expanding our resources for homeless youth beyond The Barbara Weider House. The program assists youth wherever they are living, and is aimed at providing meals, hygiene products, tents, blankets, clothing, help to access community resources, mental health support and much more to homeless youth in our communities.
The YOUTH THRIVE program is a specially created program for youth at risk of, or who have experienced homelessness. Youth Thrive is a comprehensive program designed to provide integrated support for youth, focusing on their holistic well-being. By incorporating elements of mental health counseling, educational supports, physical wellness, life skills development, and socialization, diversity, equity and inclusion, the program aims to empower youth “where they are at” in their personal growth and foster a balanced and thriving lifestyle.
100% of money raised through the Coldest Night of the Year fundraising walk on Saturday, February 22nd, 2025, will go towards this mission.
Please consider a donation, to help us give this youth a chance to rebuild their lives and become a contributing member of our community.
