Mission Statement

Healthy Mothers Living in Community. Our mission is to provide safe and supportive housing and programs for pregnant women at risk of homelessness in Calgary, AB.

About This Cause

At Emma House, expectant mothers are welcomed into a safe, supportive, loving, family-like environment – one in which they encouraged to make the most of their present and to plan for the future. Each woman receives her own bedroom, counseling, and support. Women are also offered time to find long-term housing and to decide whether to place her baby for adoption or raise the child on her own. For many new arrivals, Emma House offers the first loving, disciplined environment they have ever experienced. The guidelines for all residents include daily chores, curfews, and attending school, going to a job each day, or doing regular volunteer work. These guidelines provide consistent structure for the women as their delivery dates approach. Staff oversee Emma House, to ensure the women’s safety. Together staff and volunteers help teach beneficial life, nutritional and parenting skills to empower residents and their babies.
