Simcoe County HBA spearheads the construction of new facility for at-risk youth
Simcoe County HBA (SCHBA) is making a significant contribution to their community by spearheading the construction of a new purpose-built rental facility for Youth Haven, an organization that provides housing and outreach services to up to 300 at-risk youth annually. The existing facility, which is in serious need of a refresh, is the region’s only emergency shelter for youth experiencing homelessness. Sandy Tuckey, Executive Officer of SCHBA, says there is an “urgent need for a modern facility to accommodate the growing number of homeless youth in the region.”
The project has seen generous support from the Simcoe County home building community, including from SCHBA member Lafarge Canada, which donated $30,000 worth of concrete to help build the new facility.
