Emergency Shelters Project

As a result of the generosity of many groups and individuals we have been able to run our Emergency Shelters Project for the past 18 months.  Many lessons have been learned but also many people have been helped.  Much of that is due in large part to the collaboration and cooperation of our pastors and parishes. Thank you!

Read more about the what’s been happening with the Emergency Shelter in our May update (pdf).  Most recently we were awarded  a grant that will allow us to create and place five new shelters.  If your parish would like to be a part of this program, or add to the shelter you already have, please reach out to our Emergency Shelters Coordinator, Lindsay Misiner at This email address is being protected from spambots.

As we know the housing crisis in our province continues to grow and so we will continue to find ways to help the immediate situation while also discerning how we might be able to use what resources we have to assist with a longer term solution.
