Your donation restores dignity, stability, and hope to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Red Deer, Alberta, and surrounding communities. Every dollar directly supports programs that provide housing, healing, and empowerment.

Turning homelessness into hope

Every day in Red Deer, countless families, youth, and individuals struggle with homelessness. According to the 2024 Point-in-Time count, over 766 people are living without stable housing—more than double the number recorded just two years ago. Behind these numbers are children without a chance to create their stories, parents weighed down by immense challenges, and individuals who feel their hope of rebuilding is slipping away.

Why Hopebeam?

At HopeBeam Foundation, we understand that homelessness isn't just about the absence of a roof—it's the loss of stability, dignity, and opportunity. While many focus solely on providing temporary shelter, we go further. HopeBeam offers safe transitional housing, personalized counseling, skills training, and dedicated support for families and youth, empowering them to rebuild their lives and achieve independence.
