As a key element in the strategy to break the cycle of homelessness, the Emergency Shelter Program provides funding to shelters and drop-in centres that help connect people who are homeless to housing and support services in addition to offering temporary shelter, food and other support services.

The Province continues to work with partners in revising the program framework, and identifying good practices to strengthen the Emergency Shelter Program.

More than 1,600 shelter beds are available year-round across the province, almost double the approximately 850 beds in 2001. Most shelters are able to stay open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and provide three meals a day.  Click here to see a list of provincially-funded shelters.
