Phoenix
Safe House Emergency Residential Program
The
Phoenix Safe House residential program provides safe and secure emergency
short-term accommodation.
During their stay, women and children are supported by staff trained to deal
with the immediate issues brought on by their crisis. With an emphasis on
safety, the time in this program is used to link women to resources in the
community. Staff help them to develop safety plans and encourage them to
explore their options – to make informed decisions about their lives. The
shelter accommodates up to 24 women and children at any given time and
provides a safe place to stay for up to 21 days.

What to
Expect When You Come to the Shelter
First contact is usually made by phone by calling a Crisis Intervention
Worker at (403) 529-1091.
The worker will let you know if there is space for you and your children (if
you'll be bringing any with you). They will also arrange for transportation
to the shelter if you don't have your own way.
When you arrive, shelter staff will meet you at the door and take you to a
private room where they will go through the intake process with you. There
will be intake paper work to complete, a tour, an introduction to the
shelter and to our guidelines for communal living.
Within a short period of time,
you and your children (if you have any) will be safely settled into a
comfortable bedroom and will have full access to the services of the
shelter.
