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”
