Emergency Shelter - The Salvation Army Centre of Hope

Emergency Shelter for Adults

Our Emergency Shelter offers 97 beds for men and 21 beds for women. Our beds are available on a first come, first serve basis. Our clients are supported by 24-hour staff who provide assistance with housing searches, basic needs, and referrals to community resources as needed. While staying, clients are encouraged to pursue housing searches with the goal to secure a home.

Chaplain’s offices are located on the residential floors to provide Spiritual Care through prayer, discipleship and mentoring. All clients are invited to attend our Community Chapel Services held here on Sundays and Wednesdays at 4:00pm.

Emergency Shelter for Youth

Youth from the ages of 16 to 24 can be accommodated in our Emergency Services where specialized services are available depending on their individual needs.

Transitional Housing

Once an individual is registered in an emergency bed they may request to be put on the waiting list for a transitional room. Transitional room eligibility is assessed on an individual basis and reviewed at 3 month intervals. The Centre of Hope has 66 transitional rooms for men and women. Transitional rooms are available for a maximum stay of 1 year on a pay to stay basis for a cost of CA $500.00 per month.
