Mustard Seed takes over People’s Place from Safe Harbour
People’s Place is staying around in Red Deer.
On December 1, The Mustard Seed will assume operations of the overnight shelter from Safe Harbour Society, which has been providing the service for homeless individuals experiencing sobriety since 1998.
The shelter currently accommodates up to 46 adults during the winter months, and 35 adults for the remainder of the year.
“Safe Harbour knows this is the right thing to do for our sober guests accessing People’s Place,” says Kath Hoffman, Executive Director, Safe Harbour Society. “The Mustard Seed has more capacity than we do to enhance services. They are committed to working closely with us and the broader community to ensure appropriate support systems are in place for our most vulnerable citizens.”
