About Us

We’re not here to manage homelessness. We’re here to end it.

Wyndham House is leading a bold movement to become the first community in Canada to end chronic youth homelessness. Our work goes far beyond shelter and housing. We focus on root-cause solutions, prevention, systems change, and wraparound supports.
