Protego Foster Houses

Protego Foster Houses provides safe, stable housing and wraparound support for youth aging out of the foster care system in Toronto. The organization operates residential homes where young people who have experienced the child welfare system can live while they transition to independence, typically between ages 16 and 21. Staff members offer life skills training, educational support, mental health resources, and employment assistance to help residents build foundations for self-sufficiency. The homes create a family-like environment that fills a critical gap for youth who lack family support networks. Protego recognizes that stable housing is essential for young people to succeed in school, work, and their personal development after leaving government care.
