Cornerstone Landing Youth Services is a non profit charitable organization dedicated to preventing, reducing and ending youth homelessness in Lanark County and Smiths Falls. Through a Housing First for Youth approach, we meet vulnerable youth aged 16-24 exactly where they are. Through mobile, intensive case management, we provide unconditional stable housing supports combined with long term individualized wrap around supports including rent supplements, trusteeship, re entry into education and employment, mental health, transportation, life skills, food security and more. By focusing on rebuilding relationships, fostering community connection, and building independence, we provide young people with stability and skills needed to thrive. Supporting their growth into self reliance ensures a successful transition to adulthood and a permanent way out of housing instability. Together we will end youth homelessness.
