Edmonton Coalition on Housing & Homelessness

The Edmonton Coalition On Housing and Homelessness promotes awareness, advocates, and takes action on housing issues to enhance community life.

[Edmonton Coalition on Housing & Homelessness @ECOHH_]

One of the key messages of Alberta's budget was "focusing on supporting Alberta’s most vulnerable."

ECOHH applauds this rhetoric however, how do cuts to social programs for housing, AISH, Income Support, and Seniors qualify as "support"?

A new emergency shelter is now open in Wetaskiwin, replacing a temporary site that has served the community since 2022.

“This really feels like a fresh start.”

[Hope Mission @HopeMission]

Your compassion rescued Brittanie from addiction, guiding her from a freezing night into Wellspring, Hope Mission's addiction recovery program for women. Because of your generosity, she is no longer lost but is reclaiming her life and her future today.

Edmonton still has a huge deficit of non-market rental housing, supportive housing, and diverse, safe & healthy temporary shelter options. #homelessness #Alberta

Cariboo Friendship Centre Society provides culturally grounded transition housing that helps Indigenous women rebuild after violence.

Healing begins when housing is led by community and rooted in culture.
