SOLO is a community-based program that supports youth in preparing for independence in the community. SOLO provides funding for living expenses and accommodation.
Youth meet regularly with a Placement Coordinator who provides ongoing support to increase knowledge in finance, nutrition, shopping on a budget, cooking, home maintenance, personal wellness, problem solving and conflict resolution, communication and relationship skills, employment, education, career search, building support networks and much more.
Youth live in their own apartment in the community and as they increase their ability to live independently, there is a gradual withdrawal of support services.
Youth ages 15-23, inclusive, who have Children’s Services Status can apply.
