Emergency Shelters Program

Emergency Shelters Update

From snowstorm to rainstorm to everything in between over the past few days demonstrates the need for a warm and safe place to call home – if even temporarily. We are pleased to announce that three shelters and several more installations planned for this week. Each shelter will also have a guest living in them soon!  So far…

  • We have raised over $100,000 from individual contributions and counting! This includes contributions from other Christian churches.
  • Our first 10 shelters are in various stages of completion and we placed an order for 10 more.
  • Three shelters have been set-up at St. Anthony's Church in Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish, Dartmouth. After that, two will to go to St. Michael's Church in Stella Maris Parish, Spryfield. 
  • Sites are still being assessed by our engineers but we are looking at 10 sites with 17 shelters in Halifax Regional Municipality and as many as 3 in other communities outside the HRM (subject to local municipal approval). 
  • Our potential guest list is growing and we anticipate being able to use all of our shelters.

Thank you for your incredible support for this project so far!  To learn more about this emergency shelters or to donate go to www.halifaxyarmouth.org/shelters
