enCompass Community Safety Agency We build safe and inclusive communities by supporting individuals to navigate change – and lead healthy, meaningful lives.

enCompass provides holistic services and wraparound supports that address the root causes of crime and social disorder. We do this through preventative and restorative activities including release planning, housing, safety planning, employment transition, education, substance recovery, cultural supports and more. By exemplifying care, compassion and understanding, we are laying the foundations for positive change.

For people transitioning back into the community, knowing where to turn for housing, counselling and other supports can help make what can feel like an overwhelming process a little more manageable.

Our team provides practical support and resources to help people access the services they need while building the skills and confidence to move forward.

Through our reintegration services, clients develop financial, social and problem-solving skills that can help them pursue stable housing and employment. Among surveyed clients, 71% felt better prepared to handle future barriers, and 100% improved their ability to set personal goals.

Reintegration programs help people navigate the challenges of returning to the community while supporting them as they build greater stability and work toward their goals.

We spend a lot of our time supporting others, so last week, our team took a day to slow down and focus on their own well-being at our staff retreat at the Alberta Aviation Museum.

We were fortunate to hear from Dr. Shahana Alibhai, physician, author and two-time TEDx speaker, who spoke about burnout, mental health and well-being. She asked us to think about what makes us feel valued, what leaves us feeling drained and what we need to recharge.

It’s easy to put our own needs aside when our work centres on supporting others, so the retreat gave our team time to reflect on their own well-being and connect with colleagues outside their usual routines.

Thank you to Dr. Alibhai for sharing her insights and to everyone who helped organize the day!

We’re proud to share that we have once again earned a Three-Year CARF Accreditation!

CARF accreditation allows us to look closely at how we deliver programs, listen to the people we serve and identify ways to keep improving.

At the heart of this process is the work our teams do every day to support people and help create safer communities, and this achievement reflects the care and commitment that goes into our work.

This year, we received the fewest recommendations for improvement we’ve ever received through the CARF International survey process, marking an important milestone and reflecting the dedication of our team supporting people in Edmonton.

Today we’d like to shine a spotlight on our youth housing team!

Between April and June 2026, the team supported youth as they took important steps toward independence and their goals for the future.

From finding their first home to connecting with mental health and employment supports, each step forward looks a little different.

We’re proud of the work this team does alongside youth to help them build stability.

Last month, Edmonton lawyer Rory Ziv took on an incredible open-water swimming challenge through his “Swimming for a Better Tomorrow” fundraiser, raising over $12,000 for enCompass!

Rory understands the importance of supporting people as they navigate the justice system and rebuild their lives. That support makes a real difference, not just for individuals and families, but for the safety and well-being of our entire community.

A huge thank you to Rory for going the distance for enCompass, and to everyone who donated and cheered him on. We're so grateful to have this kind of community support behind our work!

One of the best parts of the work we do is seeing where people’s journeys take them.

In this video, Blake Harris, our Manager of Client Journey and Success, shares the story of someone who first connected with us through The LOFT, then returned to complete their practicum, joined our team, and now sits on our Client Advisory Committee.

Their lived experience brings a valuable perspective to enCompass by helping us better understand the people we serve and keeping us grounded in what matters most.

We’re so proud to see where their journey has taken them, and grateful that they’ve chosen to continue it with us.

Today, we honour the children who never returned home, Survivors of residential schools, their families, and their communities. We recognize the lasting and intergenerational impacts of the residential school system and the responsibility we all share in the ongoing work of reconciliation.

At enCompass, we recognize that this work is ongoing. We remain committed to learning from and listening to Indigenous voices, strengthening our relationships, and supporting a future rooted in respect, dignity, and understanding.

Reconciliation is not the work of one day. It requires ongoing learning, meaningful action, and a commitment to building relationships rooted in respect.

Today, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we encourage everyone to take time to learn, reflect, and consider the role we each have in reconciliation.

Our LOFT team joined the youth resource fair at Boyle Street Education Centre, where we had the chance to meet young people, have some conversations and share information about the support available through The LOFT.

Sometimes, knowing what support is out there can make all the difference. Events like this help us connect with youth in their own community and make those connections a little easier.

Thanks to Boyle Street Education Centre for bringing community organizations together and welcoming us to be part of the day!

Since 1949, enCompass has been a fixture in the Edmonton area, but our work is constantly evolving.

Earlier this year, we released our 2025 Impact and Outcome Evaluation report. The data tells a powerful story:

📌 7,127 individuals supported across our programs
📌 Measurable movement from crisis to stability
📌 Proactive action on houselessness, unemployment, and domestic violence

This report is evidence that when we address the root causes of social disorder, our entire community becomes safer and more vibrant.

For some youth, getting through high school means navigating challenges most of us never see.

A youth was experiencing family violence and couldn’t attend high school regularly, and after fleeing to the safety of The LOFT in Edmonton, they learned practical skills like budgeting, cooking and cleaning, returned to school, earned their high school diploma and started a part-time job.

As The LOFT Coordinator Hannah explains, having safe housing can be the key that allows youth to create a life of their own. ❤️
