HOUSING

Affordable Housing for Youth

​

RaY has a variety of housing programs to help you find safe, secure housing.

Here are some of the programs we offer.

 

Rapid Rehousing: we can help you find housing in the private market.

 

Housing First: for if you’ve been homeless at least six months, or at least three times in the last year.

 

To access housing supports at RaY, you’ll need to:

​

• Be over 18. If you are under 18, we can help refer you to other organizations that can help!

• Have income (employment or EIA).

 

To apply for RaY’s housing supports, come to RaY during drop-in and fill out a housing intake.

​​​

A few things to know about our housing programs:

• If you are age 18 – 29 and are homeless, couch-surfing, about to get kicked out or evicted, or can’t keep your current place, we can help. Chat with the housing team about the best option for you.​

• RaY is not a shelter, but we can provide you with resources about local organizations that can assist you in temporary housing or sheltering needs.​

• You do not have to have rental history or credit to access our services.​

• RaY is not able to be guarantor for you. Talk to the housing department about other ways you can get that place!​

• Housing intakes are done at drop-in every second Wednesday on a first come, first serve basis from 1-4 pm. Please call the front desk at 204-783-5617 to confirm dates.​

• At RaY, we do not keep a waitlist, because housing options and needs can change so quickly. Contact the housing department and they will be able to tell you if we have room right now.​

• If you have existing supports we still can work with you to coordinate your supports and help you transition into our Housing Program.

​

​If you have any other questions please come to RaY Drop-in at 125 Sherbrook or contact us at info@rayinc.ca for more information. We will connect you with one of our friendly housing staff to discuss your housing needs and find the best housing fit for you!​
