You are not alone. At Heart Home Network, we are here to help you.

Heart Home Network is NOT an emergency shelter.

Please refer to the list of emergency shelters below for immediate support.

We are a one-year residential program for women and children fleeing domestic violence who require longer-term safety, support, and recovery. This is referred to as a Second-Stage Shelter. Because of this, there is often a wait-list of families waiting to come to Heart Home Network from places like Emergency Shelters.

Shared Intake Program

Apply for Second-Stage Shelter at Heart Home Network, Radiance Centre, and Discovery House:

Heart Home Network is part of the Shared Intake Program. This is a collaboration between all three of Calgary’s second-stage shelters: Heart Home Network, Radiance Centre, and Discovery House. You only need to apply once and are placed on a single waitlist until a unit becomes available in one of the three shelters.

For information about the other second stage shelters, please visit their websites at: Radiance Centre and Discovery House.
