More about us

Community Impact

The EWC creates safe, secure emergency housing for those in vulnerable situations, allowing these individuals to begin their journey for positive change. The services offered within the EWC take the strain off other organizations within the city, as well as work with them in conjunction. We build up individuals self-worth and self-esteem allowing them to see their true potential.

Financial Breakdown

Every donation used is given to those living within the EWC. The relatives living at the EWC have experienced significant economic hardships and often come to us with no clothing, other than what they are wearing. The art supplies and baking supplies are used to run additional programming within the EWC, such as paint nights, school projects for our families, and life skills programming.

Programs and Services

EWC is a wellness centre that provides emergency housing for those in vulnerable situations. We also provided individualized case plans for the relatives onsite that highlight areas of concern–housing, mental health, addictions, trauma, abuse, etc. These plan help our staff to build wrap around services for relatives.
