Women's Housing

Hours of Work: 30 weekly – 1p to 9p - on rotation – working two weekends a month

Program Description

The Semi-Independent Living Program (SILP) provides trauma-informed, culturally grounded, and harm-reductive housing for youth aged 16–21 who are transitioning from Ministry of Social Services (MSS) care toward independent adulthood.

SILP operates within YWCA's continuum of care—bridging shelter, housing, and youth development—and is integrated with the Homebase Youth Hub and Community Support Hub at the kikaskihtânaw Centre.

The program prioritizes relational accountability, youth voice, and cultural connection as key components of stability and success. SILP supports youth in developing essential life skills, building positive community supports, and preparing for long-term housing and independence while maintaining connection with their CFP/MSS supports.
