The Northreach Society had been the service provider but decided in April that it would move to healthcare supports as a way to provide services rather than supportive housing.

“The City of Grande Prairie is pleased to welcome The Mustard Seed as part of our housing and homelessness initiatives. With their experience and expertise, they are well-equipped to lead the services and programs at the Coordinated Care Campus which will support residents in sustaining long-term housing, meeting our objectives for the Homelessness Strategy and ensuring a social and economic return on investment,” says Mayor Jackie Clayton in that same release.

The contract with The Mustard Seed starts February 1, 2024.
