World Homeless Day Oct 10

“As we observe World Homelessness Day, it’s crucial to remember that homelessness is not a one-size-fits-all issue. The diverse experiences of those affected highlight the importance of understanding and compassion in our approach to this complex social challenge. Each individual’s story is unique, shaped by a variety of circumstances often outside of that person’s control. By recognizing the Continuum of Homelessness and the various challenges people face, we can foster greater empathy and awareness within our communities and ultimately build better solutions”

Give Hope Through Housing

A home can change a life.  You can help us open the door to a brighter future. 

It is a good thing to have a place to protect you. I was homeless for so long. It is so good to know that when I go outside, I have a place to come back to.” – Simon, Alpha House client

What does Harm Reduction mean?

“The social services sector evolves with the needs of the people that it serves; harm reduction has become a leading framework for those working with individuals facing homelessness and substance use challenges because of its effectiveness in minimizing risk in situations involving physical health, mental health, and/or substance use”
