What is Jessie’s House?
The 9,200 square foot, 35-bed facility is one of just a few shelters in Canada because providing trauma-informed services to families and individuals of any age or gender fleeing abuse.
“More than just a bed, we’ll provide a broad range of services including outreach, case management, court support, and specialized supports for children. As a trauma-informed facility, we aim to meet residents where they are, reducing as many barriers to service as feasible. Serving individuals and families from the Sturgeon Region and St. Albert will be our priority, however residents outside the region will be supported as capacity permits.”
“I want to thank you all for your generosity, your kindness, your hard work. Everyone who has been involved in this project has made this place what it is today. I am so appreciative of everybody who has stepped up and saw our vision of a home, not just a bed. We’re going to be able to provide safety, hope and healing to these families and individuals who are struggling. I can’t thank you enough. I will, truly, never forget a moment of this.”
