Tyson joined our Supported Independent Living Program (SILP) in November 2023 and has made some incredible strides toward independent living.

After withdrawing last fall, Tyson set a goal to complete his Grade 12 education, which he is now proudly attending. He has improved his budgeting and listening skills and has become a new parent to his son this past summer. Some of his most significant day-to-day highlights have been waking up to his baby and going to school each day to better himself for his son.

“Life has been easier because of the support I have with NSN; they helped me understand that accepting and asking for help is okay. Before I was with NSN, I was homeless and then moved into SILP housing. I’m now looking at getting my own place to live with my girlfriend and baby boy.”

Stories like Tyson’s motivate us to come to work every day and make changes in people’s lives.
