Get 24-Hour Support For Your Family

Helping families overcome obstacles that can lead to a cycle of homelessness — that’s what we strive to do with every family that asks Inn from the Cold for help!

Are you a family in the Calgary area currently experiencing a housing crisis? We are here to help you! We provide three main programs to help families: prevention and diversion, emergency family shelter, and supportive housing. We accept any family with a pregnant mother or at least one child under 18 years of age.

To get support and access our programs call our 24-hour helpline at 403 263 8384 or fill out the form below and someone will be in touch with you as soon as possible. Please note that our 24-hour helpline is best if you need an immediate response.

If you are an expectant mother or a mother with a newborn and are looking for support, please contact our Emma House team by calling or texting us at 403-870-5231.

Note that we have moved to a new location at 706 7 Avenue S.W.
