About this service
In 2011 EPL partnered with Boyle Street Community Services to launch an outreach program when an increasing number of people were seeking refuge in the downtown branch. Initially the program was supported by the provincial Safe Communities Innovation Fund.
Based on our Community-led Service Model, the program works to help and empower at-risk Edmontonians through literacy, education, connections and social support. We have also formed partnerships with the Bissell Centre and Homeward Trust to support homeless individuals in finding housing.
Some people might not access existing social services, but visit EPL knowing its a safe, friendly space. Clients of the program find social support and assistance needed to manage challenges, and make lasting changes towards a better life.
In collaboration with library staff, our 4 outreach staff (registered social workers) work in and outside 4 branches (Enterprise Square, Abbottsfield, Sprucewood and Woodcroft).
