Siloam Mission

Siloam Mission is a Christian humanitarian organization that exists to alleviate hardships and provide opportunities for transition for those experiencing homelessness in Winnipeg since 1987.

We acknowledge that we live and work in Treaty One Territory, on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Anisininew, Dakota Oyate, Denesuline, and Nehethowuk, and on the homeland of the Metis Nation.

Our Mission
To offer Christ's compassionate love to all who are in need of support, healing and recovery. Many in our society are struggling to meet their basic needs and so we offer support to do just that: clothing, food, shelter, and belonging. For so many who experience that struggle they are also experiencing isolation, medical concerns, and more, and so we offer healing programming in mental health, addiction recovery, and the health centre. We know each person has the capacity to recover. For those who have few other avenues to move forward on that journey, we seek to offer meaningful holistic accompaniment.

Our Vision
A Winnipeg without Chronic Homelessness. Homelessness may happen but it should be brief. There are many paths to homelessness and there needs to be more to be housed. Individuals should not experience years of homelessness. By being a housing-focused organization, we seek to eliminate the experience of Chronic Homelessness.

Our Values
Siloam Mission's Values call us to evidence the HEART of God in what we do.

Holistic
A variety of services in one place to support the uniqueness of each journey. Our trauma-informed, person-centred, strengths-based, and recovery-oriented care aims to transform the lives of all those we encounter and love them as they journey toward their full expression of health, safety, and housing.

Equity
Offering those we serve support on their next steps towards healing and recovery. We seek to meet peoples basic needs and support their next steps towards recovery. We demonstrate the inherent worth of all people as divinely created in the Image of God by how we treat our team, supporters, and community.

Altruism
Our deepest call is to Love our Neighbour. With Jesus as our role model, we are committed to service. We invite all people to work with us to achieve the best outcomes possible for those currently experiencing homelessness. As a neighbour in our sector, we seek to collaborate with other agencies to reduce homelessness and its hardships.

Relationships
We honour the trust of those we serve and those who help us do so. All of our work is thanks to the generosity of our donors, the time of our volunteers, and the trust of our community members and partners.  We are transparent, accountable, and seek to work and serve with a collaborative and authentic spirit.

Truth and Reconciliation
It is our response-ability as a Christian organization to acknowledge the realities and histories of the Original Peoples of this land and all who are oppressed
