Calgary launches first-ever, city-wide plan to end youth homelessness in
Canada
by Calgary Homeless Foundation
On the journey to end homelessness in Calgary, it became clear that young
people (under the age of 24) require a plan tailored to their unique needs.

The goal of the Youth Plan is that by January 29, 2018 the maximum average
stay in an emergency shelter will be reduced to less than seven days, at
which point any young person will be moved into a safe, decent, affordable
home with the support needed to sustain it.

There is a general presumption that Social Assistance in Ontario or
elsewhere is a general burden on the tax payers in the province with no or
little benefits for the people of Ontario beyond the small cohort receiving
it. The results of the economic impact analysis we undertook show that this
is not true. Econometric Research Limited
