VYES has a special Housing Support Fund to provide financial support for youth to access housing and get set up in their own rental unit.  Many youth may have nothing to get started with and will need all of the basics to begin.  This fund was established by the Board of Directors in 2022 to respond to a growing need within the youth population that we serve.  To continue this important and sometimes life-changing support, VYES requires additional donations to keep this type of funding available.  

These funds can be used for:

Damage Deposit

Rent top-ups (to provide short-term subsidy)

Utilities security deposit

Furniture

Household Goods

Groceries

Bus Pass

Moving Expenses

Please consider how these things might make a difference in the youth's transition to their own place and next steps as they transition towards adulthood.
