For People in Need

It seems obvious, but we overlook it. Sometimes you need a place to sleep for a night or two.

Maybe you’ve lost your apartment
Maybe there’s a flood
Or trouble at home
Or your car broke down

If you don’t have money for a hotel room, you’re stuck spending a night in your car, or on the street. A lot of people wind up on someone else’s couch, wearing out their welcome.

We’re Here to Help

We can provide a change of clothes if you need it, a shower, a laundry, a place to sleep, and a meal. And that could be just what you need.

It isn’t just about survival though.

When someone checks in to the shelter, we need to ask some questions. We make sure that they get back on their feet, and help them figure out what it would take to get out of their jam.

Strathmore and Wheatland Country are full of helpful agencies. We connect people to those supporters: medical services, clothing, counselling, employment, housing, addictions treatment, dentistry – even furniture. Some of the will come to us, some of them make home visits, and some you have to go to.

We make sure that it happens. It’s called “Housing First,” and it’s a model that works.
