Thank you for becoming a monthly contributor to the Shelter Nova Scotia

Our mission is to provide a safe place to stay for those in need, and to grow an effective continuum of services to help people transition from crisis back to the community. Every night of the year we provide shelter for  up to 106 people as well as ongoing support for more than 1,300 individuals and families in our community. 

Who We Help
 Individuals or families without stable, permanent or appropriate housing who need support. People may stay with us as long as it takes to find suitable housing. Through our community programs, we provide eviction prevention and money management support as well as a drop-in location to access basic services and assistance.   

Our Approach
Transition to Housing:  We believe that housing is a primary need. Other issues that may affect an individual can be addressed once housing is secured.

People First Approach: We work with people in a non-judgmental environment, while promoting compassion and dignity.

Harm Reduction Strategy: Enables us to work with people who may experience multiple barriers to accessing services such as mental illness, addiction or concurrent disorders.

Individualized Care: Access to all other support will be provided on a case by case basis.

Your regular donation helps us support those people in need throughout our community. Thank you for  choosing to make a difference!
