Boyle Street Community Services

Founded in 1971, Boyle Street Community Services is a charity based in Edmonton, Canada working on housing & homelessness, poverty & hunger.

Boyle Street Community Services is a non-denominational charity in Edmonton, Alberta, that has supported people experiencing homelessness and poverty since 1971. It serves adults, youth and families, and acts as a resource for Indigenous, 2SLGBTQQIA and new immigrant communities. Its approach combines Indigenous ways of knowing with harm reduction and trauma-informed, person-centred care, and it incorporates Indigenous ceremonies in its practice. The organisation works alongside clients to help them find solutions to their challenges and reconnect with community, family, home and traditional ways. It also advocates and educates for justice for all. Boyle Street operates through the Boyle Street Service Society, an Alberta society, and runs the King Thunderbird Centre, a social enterprise arm called Ventures, and group living services.
