They've signed up for a "host homes" program called Nightstop that makes its Canadian debut on Monday. Young people who come to 360°kids for emergency housing will be referred to the Nightstop program co-ordinator for placement with a participating family. He is also the president of national anti-homelessness charity Raise The Roof, which plans to work with 360°kids to take the Nightstop program Canada-wide. A few Canadian organizations have started host home programs for homeless youth, but they are rare, says Gaetz. He believes the program's arrival in Canada could represent a significant turning point in the fight against youth homelessness.
