Our mission:
Home Horizon creates a community where youth who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness are supported and empowered with the resources and skills to transition into adulthood. As a community, we break the cycle of youth homelessness with hope, safety, and growth.
At-Risk of Homelessness
Youth homelessness is real in South Georgian Bay, even if it isn't always visible.
Most young people experiencing homelessness have not chosen this path. Many are escaping unsafe, abusive, or unstable homes, while others are couch surfing, living in temporary accommodations, or sleeping wherever they can find shelter. These youth are often part of the "hidden homeless" population, facing uncertainty, trauma, and isolation at a critical stage in their lives.
At Home Horizon, we believe every young person deserves a safe place to call home and the opportunity to build a brighter future.
Through the Barbara Weider House, Youth Outreach and Youth Thrive, counselling, and life-skills programming, we provide the stability, support, and guidance youth need to regain confidence, reconnect with education and employment, develop healthy relationships, and successfully transition to independent adulthood.
We proudly serve youth across South Georgian Bay, including Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, Stayner, Creemore, Thornbury, Meaford, and The Blue Mountains—helping young people move beyond homelessness and toward lives filled with hope, purpose, and possibility.

“No one gave me a chance, no one would listen to me and no one gave a “crap” until I got here. I have a real chance of being a success now. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart”
