The Fredericton Homeless Shelters Inc. was established in 1983 by a group of people to provide temporary housing for people who suffered from house fires or other natural disasters with a small mention of the transient population. Since that time we have changed dramatically to deal almost exclusively with those who find themselves homeless not by natural disaster but by other circumstances. Our mission is and to some extent has always been to restore human dignity to those who were experiencing homelessness in Fredericton and the surrounding areas. Since then, The Fredericton Homeless Shelters have expanded to three shelters: St John House, Grace House, and Brunswick Home Transitional Housing. Together, the shelters provide temporary housing to over 300 individuals every year.

Each of our shelters have their own personality and each serve a different group of people, but still maintain the unity of sharing the same mission and values. Regardless of demographic, each of our shelters strive toward providing a safe, stable, and dignified living environment that promotes self-determination.

The Fredericton Homeless Shelters are making waves in Fredericton and the surrounding area. With each person we help, we reinforce our values that we are compassionate, open-minded, dependable, accountable, helpful, and absolutely necessary.
