The Stepping Stones Youth Home is an initiative driven by an advisory committee comprised of business, community members, youth, community service agencies and government. The need for a youth home was recognized after a May 2007 survey revealed 65 youth self identified as living on the street, in an unsafe or temporary housing situation or in danger of losing their housing.
