The Emergency Shelter Program is operated in partnership with BC Housing. The Shelter known as The Brigadir Arthur Cartmell House, is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year. It is available to adults over the age of 18 and families with children by referral through the Care & Share Centre, or other community agencies. Daytime programs and access to the case workers are available for all guests. Guests receive three meals a day, a hot shower, clean linen and complimentary toiletries.
The staff at the emergency shelter work very hard to create a safe and encouraging environment for our clients. Click here to read the Letter of Commendation we received from Chilliwack Community Corrections after assisting one of our clients. Way to go Scott and John on a job well done!
