Vancouver Youth Housing Programs
About this resource
The Vancouver Youth Housing Program is a transitional, subsidized housing program for youth at risk of homelessness aged 16-24. Youth can self refer to our housing program’s waitlist or be referred by professionals or other stakeholders via the PCRS website. Our program provides housing support to our participants who will work to achieve self identified life skills goals to help them transition into long term sustainable housing. PCRS maintains 5 different housing sites in Vancouver geared towards different levels of participant need with over 60 participants at any given time.
