Before ICare, I was stuck in temporary housing with no direction. Now I have my own space, a routine, and real support. I’ve learned to budget, cook, and even started a course. ICare gave me stability and confidence.

Semi-Independent Resident
As a care leaver, living alone felt scary. ICare gave me more than a place — they helped me grow. I got help with life skills, counselling, and starting college. For once, I confidently feel in control of my future.
