Together, We Can Build Safer Streets for Everyone in Edmonton

Every day in Edmonton, thousands of individuals face homelessness, addiction, and unsafe living conditions.  Safer Streets of Edmonton is a volunteer-driven movement dedicated to outreach, harm reduction, and connecting people with resources to rebuild their lives.  We believe in compassion, dignity, and community-driven change. 

Our Mission

We aim to provide safety, dignity, and hope for Edmonton’s most vulnerable residents by offering direct outreach, harm reduction services, and advocacy for long-term solutions to homelessness and its root causes, such as mental health issues and addiction.

Our Vision

An Edmonton where every person has access to shelter, health care, and community support — and where compassion guides policy and practice. 

Our Values

Compassion – Every life has value and everyone deserves respect, no matter their circumstances.

Action – We meet people where they are, without judgment, to provide the things that are most necessary to them.

Community – We work together for lasting change.  Both for those in need and the community members around them.

The Problem...

Over 3,100 people experiencing homelessness on any given night (City of Edmonton Point-in-Time Count, as of 2025).

1 in 5 of those are youth under 25.

Over 70% have no regular access to health care.

Dozens of encampments regularly cleared, leaving residents with nowhere safe to go.

How to Help Be Part of The Solution...

Our Work

Distributing food, water, clothing, and harm-reduction supplies.

Connecting people to addiction recovery programs and shelters.

Advocating for policy changes and sustainable housing solutions.

Partnering with local organizations to expand reach and effectiveness.
