About Us
Our Mission
To provide emergency, overnight shelter in a safe environment for those in greatest need in the Steinbach area.
What We Are
Today House is a not-for-profit, integrated community-based program that provides immediate, overnight emergency temporary shelter for individuals who are homeless or street involved. The shelter is governed by the Steinbach Community Outreach Board of Directors.
Homeless or near homeless people bring with them individual histories of hardship. We are committed to operating on a person centered model where sensitivity to the challenges and difficulties faced by the individual are the starting point. As an organization we are committed to creating an environment that is respectful, safe, and does not in any way undermine human dignity. Through our programming we attempt to help those who are struggling to meet their basic needs such as shelter, food, clothing and connection.
Board of Directors
Today House is a run by the Steinbach Community Outreach Board whose members are dedicated to providing the best possible services to those in need. For more information on Steinbach Community Outreach and what we do please go to www.steinbachcommunityoutreach.com.
