WELCOME TO THE
WINDSOR RESIDENCE FOR yOUNG mEN
The Windsor Residence for Young Men (WRYM) supports youth ages 16-24 as they leave homelessness behind to build new lives. WRYM provides a supportive functional family atmosphere, delivers individual counselling, and teaches basic life skills. WRYM helps youth experiencing homelessness integrate into the community and reconnect with extended family or independent living, as well as education and employment. We support active citizenship, not dependence, and we follow up with our residents as they become active citizens. We work together to end homelessness.

In Case You Missed It! WRYM Reports on Successful Housing Project!
The Windsor Residence for Young Men is proud to share the results of a recently completed provincially funded initiative that supported youth experiencing or at risk of homelessness in Windsor-Essex.
Through funding provided by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, WRYM expanded its Youth Housing Specialist program, offering housing navigation, individualized support, and ongoing aftercare to young people facing significant barriers.
Between April 2024 and March 2026,139 youth were supported through the program. Of the 43 youth who were actively experiencing homelessness, 88% successfully transitioned into stable housing, including independent living or reconnection with family.
These outcomes highlight the impact of targeted, relationship-based support and the importance of investing in solutions that move beyond emergency response toward long-term stability.
While this phase of funding has now concluded, the need for this work continues. WRYM remains committed to supporting youth as they build the skills, connections, and stability needed for independence.
