Alpha House Society

What can I say .. its a homeless shelter. However, the staff is amazing, very caring, and want to help you ..It's a last resort if you are intoxicated.. you can stay there.. shower there, get a change of clothes.. they have detox upstairs too..Sleeping is on Mats.. with 24 7 staff supervision. Women and men in same floor but separated.Can be rowdy.. fights outside.. but staff always around to de escalateThey have helped me in the cold winter months.. now I'm sober for 7 months .. so thank you!

I never went into the building the staff were uncoordinated and appeared I'll equipped for an emergency as I was at the pizza parlour meeting my friend for supper and there was a poor girl that alpha house staff were trying to hoist into a wheelchair they couldn't lift her so i ended up doing it for them they appeared to be lacking training.

Alpha House is a specialized, niche" shelter that houses some of the more challenging and disenfranchised of the homeless; specifically those people experiencing severe alcohol and addictions issues. As shelters go it can seem a bit "rough" (concrete floor and mats) but such is the nature of the business and the clientele. It is always warm; welcoming; staff is very professional and non judgemental ; there is usually food available. The residents are decent even when/if "wasted" and staff is incredibly patient with the variety of issues they experience. This is a unique place that serves a uniquely needy clientele....its often the only place these peeps have to go and they are received with love

The staff here are incredible, true saints. Smells like roses, as you might expect. Friendly regulars.

This place keeps men from their responsibilities!My commonlaw Andrew SA has a home we are not homeless. The moment he wants to drink he takes off goes to Alpha House takes up room from a person who really need the service more than he does. I call this place continously leave messages on deaf ears. The folk who work hear never consider the fact that he's not homeless, and give him a place to stay rather than send him home.AH is nothing but a relationship disturber!!If they want to continue giving men like my commonlaw a place tp sleep, then how about offer a program on responsibilities, and money management!!I so disturbed by this place.The women & men whp really need to utilize AH, homeless should be 1st priority. Not elderly men who have home prioritys.

Alpha House has so many programs and they do such great work. They have approaches and models that other agencies should also use. As an employee I absolutely love working here and am passionate about those I serve! Alpha truly does amazing work for the vulnerable.

Alpha House is a shelter for homeless addicts. It's the only one that you have to have alcohol or drugs in your system to be able to stay. However on that note they do offer programs that you can take in order to become clean and sober. They have many other programs as well to they have the encampment program which helps homeless people living in camps or tents on the streets, moving to a real place to live in apartment or Community living. When I was an addict and living on the streets I used too many times and I never had any problems with them so I do highly recommend them if you are a active addict living on the streets.

Alpha house is a joke, they get donations for housing but allow the tenant to be drunk, and leaving them on side of road in front of the house.

I use to work for Alpha house. My first day on the job I arrived to work and not one staff said hello or introduced themselves to me, not even the supervisor. I left this job due to poor supervisor support, so many staffing issues and lack of resources. Very mismanaged. Wish things would have been different as I was very much looking forward to working for Alpha House. The gossip and staff bullying is very prominent in this organization. New staff are not welcomed and often ignored and if things are disorganized they are often the ones blamed.
