Program Description
The Semi-Independent Living Program (SILP) provides trauma-informed, culturally grounded, and harm-reductive housing for youth aged 16-21 who are transitioning from Ministry of Social Services (MSS) care toward independent adulthood.
SILP operates within YWCAs continuum of care, bridging shelter, housing, and youth development and is integrated with the Homebase Youth Hub and Community Support Hub at the kikaskihtnaw Centre.
The program prioritizes relational accountability, youth voice, and cultural connection as key components of stability and success. SILP supports youth in developing essential life skills, building positive community supports, and preparing for long-term housing and independence while maintaining connection with their CFP/MSS supports.

The Manager will build, lead, and coach a cohesive staff team that provides wraparound care for youth and is responsible for cultivating a safe, inclusive, and empowering environment through relationship-based practice, harm reduction, and Indigenous-led approaches that support life skills, healing, and interdependence. This individual will work closely with the rest of the Women's Housing Leadership team to ensure the continuum of care across YWCA Regina housing and youth services is upheld.
