The Agency

The Calgary John Howard Society (CJHS) is a charity that reduces crime and makes Calgary communities safer by helping youth and adults make positive changes and move away from criminal behavior. We do this by addressing the root causes of crime through housing, education, employment programs and support so that individuals have alternatives to breaking the law. CJHS is committed to restorative justice and an organizational environment that recognizes the dignity and worth of each person. CJHS values diversity and inclusion and welcomes qualified applicants from all walks of life.

The Program

The Roofs for Youth program provides support for chronically homeless youth or youth at risk of homelessness aged 15 to 24 years old to help them successfully transition to adulthood. Youth are justice-involved or at risk, without stable housing and support. Using the Natural Supports Practice Framework, youth receive a continuum of services from institutional discharge planning to housing placement, access to employment and employability skill development opportunities, educational opportunities, connections to natural supports, and intensive case management. Roofs for Youth includes two place-based housing buildings, Raido House and Windsor Park, where clients may be placed if they need more on-site support.
