Do you need somewhere safe to stay right now?
If you’re 16 to 21 and have nowhere
to go, Our Place Peel can help.
At our Emergency Shelter in Mississauga,
you’ll find safe
shelter, a warm bed, and a hot meal waiting for you any time of the
day or night.
We know you’ve got a lot on your mind. We also know it’s
easiest to work things out when you’ve got a roof over your
head, food in your stomach and the support of people who care about
you.
Last year, we provided shelter and counseling to 543 youth. We can
help you take charge of your life and find a safe alternative to
life on the streets, too.
We’re here 24/7. If you need somewhere
safe to stay, our doors are always open to you.

Are you ready to take charge of your life? Do you need a
safe place to live while you go to school or work?
If you’re 16 to 21 years old, want to take control of your
future, and need somewhere to stay, Our Place Peel’s residential
program is right for you.
As one of 6 youth sharing a house in Brampton,
you’ll be hands-on
involved in the day-to-day running of the household. Under the supervision
of one of our counselors, you’ll learn the skills you need
to live successfully on your own, including budgeting, grocery shopping,
banking, and meal preparation.
You’re welcome to live here for up to a year while you go
to school or work. During that time, you’ll receive support
and counseling to help you develop your confidence, make smart decisions
and build a stronger future for yourself.

Do you need help finding steady employment or affordable
accommodations?
Our Place Peel’s Resource Room has everything you need to
find what you’re looking for.
We offer free one-on-one counseling, workshops and information services
to all youth in the community aged 16 to 21.
Use our computer, Internet, photocopier,
fax, and telephone to search for a job or housing. Attend a workshop
to learn how to improve your resumé, write a cover letter, prepare for an interview, budget
successfully, or learn more about employment and landlord and tenant
standards. If you need individual assistance, our Resource Counselor’s
here to help you.
We offer flexible hours – give us a
call to make an appointment.

Do you want
to go back to school or get a job but feel trapped by the fear
you won’t fit
in?
You’re not alone.
It’s normal to feel intimidated or overwhelmed when you’re
living on your own, especially if you’ve been homeless. But
it doesn’t have to be that way.
If you’re aged 16 to 21, H.Y.P.E. (Helping
Youth Prepare Effectively), can help you overcome your fears and
develop the skills you need to complete your education, find a
job, fulfill volunteer hours and successfully live independently.
By taking parting H.Y.P.E. (Helping Youth
Prepare Effectively), you’ll have access to all Our Place Peel’s
resources and connections to other community resources in Peel.

Would you like to
help troubled or homeless youth in our community?
Your life experience and support can make a real difference to a
homeless or disadvantaged youth who feels like no one cares or understands.
Young people in the H.Y.P.E. (Helping Youth
Prepare Effectively) program are taking big steps to turn their
lives around. They’re
going back to school or work and can really benefit from the leadership
and mentoring of people who have been there before.
If you’re ready to help others make
a new start, please consider being a Youth Ambassador for H.Y.P.E.
