REFUGE
BROOM TREE HOUSING
Refuge, Solace & New BeginningsAttainable Housing is a need that has been evident in Central Alberta since we started the Broom Tree Foundation.
Weekly we have women and their families who are either experiencing or on the verge of homelessness and are desperately seeking accommodations. The need is tremendous.
Here at the Broom Tree we make every effort to find these women affordable long term housing by connecting them with appropriate agencies, partner with churches, landlords and hotels or filling out housing applications. We have had to be very creative and dynamic in addressing these needs.
Attainable housing refers to a supportive – yet temporary – type of accommodation that is meant to bridge the gap from homelessness to permanent housing by offering structure, supervision, support for women who have found themselves in a major life change, crisis or catastrophic event.
Those life events may include the loss of a partner, a medical condition, losing a job, a mental health challenge, divorce, domestic or sexual abuse, and more.
Our VisionThe Broom Tree envisions a world where every woman and her family has access to a safe, stable, and nurturing home, a true refuge where healing begins, hope is restored, and lives are rebuilt.
Through community-driven support and comprehensive wrap-around services, we are working toward creating a 12-unit co-living housing community for women and their children. This space will offer thoughtfully designed shared living environments that foster connection, belonging, and a strong sense of community, ensuring no woman has to walk her journey alone.
