Emergency Shelter
The Northern Centre of Hope has designed pro-active Programs for those who have reached a point in their lives where they are ready to move forward out of poverty and address the barriers that prevent the acquisition of sustained housing and career employment. These Programs incorporate a holistic approach providing practical, emotional, social, financial and spiritual life skills, support and tools necessary for those who are homeless or those at risk of being dispossessed. The primary goal is to integrate these individuals back into their community as self-sufficient citizens.
This program has 24 beds for men and women 19 years of age or older. Open year round, we offer three meals per day, personal development planning, caseworkers and referral services.
