Shelters
Homeless persons and families can access emergency shelters across Alberta. There are 3 types of shelter accommodation:
- Emergency Shelters: means overnight accommodation to individuals who have no permanent address.
- Short-Term Supportive Housing: means temporary housing with support to assist client movement into permanent housing.
- Long-Term Supportive Housing: means unlimited stay at a facility that provides 24/7 support to its residents.
In the 2011-12 fiscal year, the province committed $38.5 million to support agencies providing shelter spaces. Funding was allocated to 30 emergency shelters that provide 3,320 spaces across the province. The following charts list these facilities by community and shelter type.
