Housing Month Virtual Session: Beyond One Model: Creating a Recovery Continuum for Adults with FASD
Thursday, Nov. 26, 2026

Part of: Edmonton Housing Month
Organized by:

Adults living with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder are overrepresented among people experiencing homelessness, yet housing options often require them to fit a single model of support. When that model does not meet their needs, people may cycle between shelters, hospitals, treatment, supportive housing, and the justice system.
This session explores how Bissell Centre is developing a continuum of housing supports for adults with FASD. Through two complementary programs—Hope Terrace, permanent supportive housing grounded in harm reduction, and Den of Willows, recovery-oriented supportive housing—we will discuss how people can access housing that reflects their goals and support needs. Participants will hear about assessment, matching people with the right environment, supporting transitions, and adapting services as needs change.
This approach offers an innovative response to gaps in the housing system. It recognizes resilience without asking people to navigate those gaps alone and considers what lasting housing stability can look like when more than one path is available.
