Now located at 20-22 Wellington Street East, Barrie, this 11 bedroom facility is equipped with 15 transitional beds and 5 emergency spots.

Homelike in setup, we strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment for our youth. The house has separate sleeping quarters for its male and female occupants, a large kitchen, common room and showering facilities as well as an outdoor surveillance system to ensure staff and youth safety 24/7. Administration offices are located at the front of the house allowing us to screen and monitor all visitors to the property.

Youth Haven is located on a quiet street, close to the downtown core, with easy access to bus stops, social service agencies, schools and medical buildings.
