Residential
Services | Men's Hostel
Residential
Services is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and provides
a safe place for men to sleep, store their belongings and call
home while they are passing through Saskatoon or until they
find more permanent accomodations.
Right
now we have 38 beds seperated in three different dorms. Each
dorm has a locker and we provide showers and free laundry facilities
for men who are staying with us. We also have a tv/lounge room
(Al’s Place) that we can utilize
for overflow on busy nights and if that fills up we refer to
other agencies to ensure that no one is forced to be out in
the cold.
Many of
the men who stay at the Centre are working and we provide a variety
of services to accomodate the variety of schedules they keep.
This ranges from lunch bags, wake up calls, and if they are working
nights, the ability to sleep in during the day.
Our rates
are $30 for one night or $73.75 per week. If a client is unable
to pay, we approve one nights stay with breakfast in the morning.
In the event the client checks in on a weekend, we let them
stay with us until Monday morning breakfast. The client would
then be directed to either the Ministry
of Social Services or their band for any further funding
if needed.
In addition
to providing emergency shelter and food, the Centre
has a chaplain who is in the building during the evenings
to be a listening ear, offer spiritual counsel, or assist in
the transition back into more permanent housing or find further
assistance. Most of the time one can find Major Henri around
the Centre but the Front Desk can set up an appointment with
him if a client needs to talk at any time.
Our short
term and emergency beds have almost been filled to maximum capacity,
with our overflow area utilized
frequently. This is definitely a viable and much needed service
to the community.
