Ryandale Transitional Housing focuses on long-term, sustainable solutions to homelessness. Ryandale offers affordable accommodation for up to one year to people who
- identify as male
- are over the age of 24
- are clean and sober for a minimum of 2 months
- have no history of violent crime against people or property and have no previous sexual assault and/or child endangerment/abuse convictions or have been convicted of arson

The Transition Houses offer support with life skills to assist with permanent housing, life management and positive community involvement. Staffing levels differ between locations. Each occupant has a private, furnished room and shared access to a kitchen and bathroom. Internet and telephone access are provided. Ryandale no longer offers emergency short-term shelter.
Ryandale is a non-judgmental transitional housing provider. We encourage residents to take responsibility for their actions, both in the past and in the future. During the application and interview phase, an applicant will be asked questions relating to
- drug and alcohol use
- physical and mental health status,
- previous criminal charges.
- Giving misinformation, or not providing a complete history when asked during the application process, may result in rejection of the application.
*This referral does not guarantee acceptance. Once a referral has been received, a staff member will contact the applicant to set up an interview. When a decision has been made, the applicant will be informed.
