Emergency Shelter Programs Emergency Shelter programs are residential programs designed for people with no fixed address. Locally, Emergency Shelter programs meet the immediate needs of three groups of people: • adults, families and unaccompanied youth living without a fixed address; • unaccompanied children 12-15 years of age who are not living at home and not currently under the guardianship of Family and Children’s Services; and • women fleeing abuse, with or without dependents. Emergency Shelter programs do not require a planned intake and do not offer permanent housing. The programs are not covered under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. There are two main types of Emergency Shelter programs in Waterloo Region: 1. Emergency Shelter Programs that Follow the Guidelines As of 2011, seven of the ten Emergency Shelter programs in Waterloo Region are under Agreement with the Region and follow the Waterloo Region Emergency Shelter Guidelines (Guidelines). Locally, Emergency Shelter programs that follow the Guidelines
provide temporary shelter, meals, essential services and access to direct support and/or support coordination. While each Emergency Shelter program operates differently and may have unique eligibility criteria, many policies and procedures are coordinated through the Guidelines. Most Emergency Shelter programs are co-located with complementary housing stability programs. 2. Other Emergency Shelter Program Options The other three Emergency Shelter program options are Anselma House and Haven House through Women’s Crisis Services of Waterloo Region and Kitchener-Waterloo Out of the Cold. These programs are not under Agreement with the Region and do not follow the Guidelines. Women’s Crisis Services of Waterloo Region provides emergency shelter for women and their children fleeing abuse. Kitchener-Waterloo Out of the Cold is a seasonal, volunteer-run, primarily churchbased program, consisting of seven different sites (plus two secondary sites that open when the primary site is full). While each site operates independently, the program as a whole is guided by a common vision and mandate.
