Founded by Father Emmett Johns “Pops” in 1988, Dans la rue helps homeless and at-risk youth. With dedication, empathy and respect, and with the support of the community, Dans la rue cares for their immediate needs and helps them acquire the skills and resources needed to lead more autonomous and rewarding lives.
Dans la rue has developed a multi-faced approach to respond to the varied needs of homeless and at-risk youth. Every year, we make a difference in the lives of over 1,000 12 to 25 year-olds, offering them a wide range of programs and services including the Van, the Bunker, the Day Centre, Family Services and Housing.
