Working in community, we remove barriers and support people as they move out of poverty.
The elimination of poverty in our community.
Bissell Centre is an Edmonton charity helping individuals and families address poverty, housing instability and barriers to essential services. Its participant-led approach combines immediate assistance with longer-term supports that help people build stability and connections.
Bissell Centre supports people in Edmonton experiencing poverty, homelessness or housing insecurity, as well as families who need help meeting basic needs. Programs are designed around each participant’s priorities rather than a single standard pathway.
Services include housing navigation, supportive housing, eviction prevention, financial empowerment, free tax filing, family support and early childhood programs. Its Service Hub coordinates access to staff, referrals and individualized plans; community initiatives include thrift shops and Indigenous cultural supports.
The charity works in Edmonton, Alberta. Its Service Hub is at 10527 96 Street NW, with additional programs and community partnerships throughout the city.
Bissell Centre’s work connects immediate assistance with longer-term stability. Its housing, family and financial programs are designed to help participants meet daily needs, keep or secure housing, and build the supports needed to move out of poverty.
