"About Us"
The Friends of Ruby Home is a transitional house built specifically for the needs of 2SLGBTQIA+ youth who are at risk and need to find long-term, secure housing. At the Friends of Ruby Home, you are a welcome part of a community, and friends are ready to celebrate who you are. We supply everything you need on your path towards independent and empowered living. More than a roof over your head, it is a place for you and your pet to call home. While living at the Home, you can take part in programs about cooking, cleaning, financial literacy, and professional mentorships. You can also access free mental and physical health services like crisis intervention, counselling, health check-ups, and enjoy physical activities. If you or someone you know needs housing support, please email us at housing@friendsofruby.ca or come to the Drop-In Centre and set up a meeting with a Case Manager.
