ASPIRE Project Receives Funding to Support More Youth

The Quebec government has announced $94,500 in funding for Dans la rue’s ASPIRE project. This support will make it possible to continue and enhance the support provided to youth in the child welfare system, with the aim of promoting their stability, independence, and transition to adulthood.

Behind the July 1 Moving Day: Young People in Search of Stability

As Québec’s July 1 moving day approaches, Dans la rue is shining a light on a less visible reality: housing instability among vulnerable youth. More than just a roof over their heads, stable housing provides a sense of security, supports well-being, education and employment, and helps young people rebuild lasting connections. Discover how Dans la rue’s housing programs support youth on their journey toward independence, one step at a time.

2024–2025 Annual Report: Always There for the Youth

In our 2024–2025 annual report, we take a look back at a year marked by action, innovation, and engagement. Thanks to the dedication of our staff, volunteers, partners, and donors, we have continued our mission to support young people in vulnerable situations by providing them with services related to shelter, support, education, employability, and housing.

Our Founder, Father Emmett Johns “Pops”

In 1988, Father Emmett “Pops” Johns decided to reach out with love to help youth living on the street.

He asked them a simple question:

« What can I do to help you? »

Thus was born Dans la rue.
