What is the difference between the Emergency Shelter and Recovery living?
Recovery Living, which is part of The Recovery Community Centre, offers an affordable housing option within a therapeutic recovery focused community.
The Emergency Shelter is an emergency short term option for all those who do not have a place to live, being a temporary solution for men, women, and youth who are experiencing homelessness. There are 122 beds in the emergency shelter and 70 transition rooms. The transitional rooms are intended as a stabilization space while housing is being pursued and acquired. The transitional rooms are provided on a pay to stay basis for a maximum of 1 year.
