We live in the real world. And in the real world, bad things can happen to good people. When obstacles placed before a person become too enormous to overcome, it’s crucial for that person have a place to go.

Shelter Nova Scotia believes that everyone deserves a safe and affordable home. We support people in times of crisis and transition through residential, trustee and outreach programs. To this end, we operate 6 facilities in HRM providing a night of rest to 106 people each night. We offer far more than shelter; utilizing client and housing support workers in tandem with our colleagues working in mental health and addiction services we support 1,300 people annually.

We believe, with your help, we can connect positively with the individuals we serve in ways that help them experience a better life. We do this by aiming high, reaching far, and working tirelessly. Shelter Nova Scotia is here – without judgement – to help.
