Housing & Shelter
MCSS Emergency Shelter
The MCSS Emergency Shelter offers safe accommodation as well as basic nutrition and hygiene facilities for those experiencing homelessness.
With support from BC Housing, our facility- comprising of 57 beds, washrooms, showers and laundry- offers more than just a roof over the head.
Our services are tailored to help people break free from the cycle of homelessness. From advocacy and support to access to essential services like treatment, employment assistance, mental health care, and more, we guide our people on their journey toward stability. People come to us from various avenues: self-treatment/recovery programs, crisis lines, extreme weather situations, and referrals.
