Those are some of the messages to homeless youth from donors who are helping Eva’s Phoenix rise from the ashes again. There is a community kitchen, computer lab, classroom and counselling space as well as Eva’s Phoenix Print Shop, a print and graphic design social enterprise business that provides training for homeless youth. Eva’s also runs two emergency shelters for homeless youth between the ages of 16 and 24. The non-residential component serves 150 homeless youth every year, including those living elsewhere. Deborah, 22, moved into Eva’s Ordnance St. building in February 2013 after her single mother suffered a mental health breakdown the previous fall.
