Naomi Thulien. Premiering on National Housing Day, the goal of the film is to help spark a national conversation about how Canada can better support youth who are β in many ways β trapped in cycles of poverty and homelessness, through no fault of their own. All three protagonists of the film are exiting homelessness. Alone at 16, Sonia arrived as a refugee in Canada and immediately entered the shelter system. Devin is a young artist and university student living on his own after leaving a challenging home situation.
Grappling with anxiety and depression, Devin is using his art to heal. Anthony has spent most of his life in foster care, group homes, and shelters. A year of portable rent subsidies can be six times less expensive than an annual shelter stay , and can give people more autonomy and a better shot at success in forging a permanent pathway out of homelessness.
