INNclusion is Blue Door’s transitional supportive housing program for 2SLGBTQI+ youth aged 16 to 29 experiencing homelessness or housing instability in York Region. Through safe, affirming housing and individualized support, the program helps youth build independence and work toward their goals.
As INNclusion reaches its fifth year of providing safe, affirming housing and support, Blue Door reflects on the impact the program has made since opening in March 2021. Over the past five years, INNclusion has supported 14 youth, with 10 successfully transitioning to independent housing, and has provided 6,797 nights of safety and stability for youth experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
As youth homelessness continues to rise, programs like INNclusion are more important than ever. Safe, affirming housing gives young individuals the foundation they need to thrive. Together, let's continue to help ensure more youth have access to the support, opportunities, and sense of belonging they deserve.
As we celebrate Pride Month, Blue Door extends its gratitude to Kenvue Canada, The Regional Municipality of York, and The Home Depot Canada Foundation for their continued support of INNclusion and their commitment to creating more inclusive communities.
