OUR PROGRAM
Christ-centered program for single mothers.
Selah Place combines parenting support, practical life skills, and long-term, semi-independent housing in Winnipeg. Mothers work with staff to set goals and prepare to live independently with their children.
Who can apply?
Selah Place is for single mothers with children aged 10 and under.
Applicants need to commit to:
Sober living, including a negative drug test at move-in and random drug testing during the program.
Participation in programming.
Weekly meetings with a case manager to set goals and work toward them.
We prefer applicants to have completed a recovery program. This can include a 30-day program.
If your children are in CFS care, contact us to discuss whether Selah Place can be part of your reunification plan.
We may accommodate families with more than one child, depending on space.
Staff are on-site Monday to Friday during the day, with after-hours staff available by phone for emergencies.
For safety, visitors are not permitted in the building except for professional support from various agencies.
Selah Place is not a shelter.
