Mission Statement
The Coalition began in 1985 as a result of a group of concerned citizens responding to families living either in their cars /or in the state forest. The group raised support and opened the first shelter in a rented farmhouse in Halifax in May of 1987. A generous donation of land, building services and materials enabled the Coalition to custom build a facility in Kingston to provide emergency shelter for families. Construction began in 1991 and a certificate of occupancy was granted in June, 1994. The main building includes a 10 unit family emergency shelter facility, laundry facilities for residents, office space, and childcare space: the shelter space is divided into two wings, with each section with their own common/kitchen room. The lower level of the main building houses the Children’s Holiday Fund and the Family and Individual Resource program. The Food Pantry is located in a separate building adjacent to the main building. The agency also provides a 24-hour free information and referral service.
