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.

Season of Giving Results - Thank You for Making an Incredible Impact
We are thrilled to share the results of our recent Season of Giving campaign, and it’s all thanks to you.
Together, our community raised $77,847, far exceeding our $30,000 matching fund goal. Your generosity not only unlocked the full match, but multiplied its impact well beyond what we hoped for.
These funds directly support the young men we serve through safe housing, aftercare, life-skills development, and the steady support they need to move from crisis toward independence. Every dollar raised helps ensure that no young man has to face homelessness alone.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who donated, shared the campaign, and helped spread the word, and a special thank you to those who helped amplify the message and inspire others to give.
