Many men living on the streets of Winnipeg first experienced homelessness as young adults. Some of them were raised around family conflict, in a group home environment, or in the foster care system. Others have spent time in jail, have suffered debilitating injuries, or struggle with mental health issues. But they all come from an unstable environment, and often haven’t been taught the social skills required for independent living.

By helping, supporting, providing housing to young men that need direction and assistance, we can break the cycle of homelessness before it takes hold of their lives.

Pan Am Place offers at-risk youth age 18-29 a supportive environment where they learn about responsibility, community, and discipline. Our residents have more in common than a troubled past: they share a desire to make a lasting, positive change in their lives. And we help them do it.
