Desperate for Funding
The Windsor Residence for Young Men is desperate for funding to shelter our
guys while helping new ones to enter our programs. I can confidently say
that we have not received even our modest fair share of federal and
provincial emergency funding administered by the City of Windsor; because,
we have simply received none. Additionally, while the federal 30% initiative
sounds great, WRYM is "only" down 27.42% in revenue from March, 2019; so,
WRYM does not qualify while being a front line essential service that cannot
have staff working from anywhere other than our residence, which is "our
guys' home".

I realize that we are a small agency that only gets 40+ youth off the street
each year; but, think of the long term impact we have on chronic
homelessness. It's hard to think long term in crisis situations; but, we and
our youth must have a future to focus on, to benefit our community now and
after this crisis is over.

For a good read on the economics of charities when a community is in crisis,
