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

It's time to green light housing

Have you seen us on transit and around town? We’re trying to get the word out about some of our services and our new housing campaign. If you saw us on a train, bus, or transit shelter, share to socials and tag us!

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”


Alpha House Society is a non-profit, charitable agency providing safe and caring environments for individuals whose lives are affected by alcohol and other substance dependencies
