Elizabeth House is more than a home. We are a movement.
We provide a transitional home, system navigation and care coordination to
pregnant women and mothers experiencing housing instability
Since opening its doors in 1996, Elizabeth House has housed over 300 women and their babies and provided referrals and support to hundreds of others. As a non-denominational program of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Calgary, we welcome women from all ages, walks of life and faiths.
Elizabeth House was started by the Sisters of Charity of St. Louis in 1996 and continues to be a non-denominational program of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Calgary. The original focus of the program was to offer pregnant and parenting teens experiencing homelessness a safe and stable environment to gain life skills, grow community and parent her child in the best way possible.
Today, Elizabeth House helps support women of all ages to reach their goals whether their journey is to parent, adopt or re-gain guardianship. We offer sanctuary, community and the opportunity to create life-long resilience.
