Who qualifies?
You are eligible for New Brunswick shelters and the help they offer if you are:
- Experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, and
- 19 years or older (There are also youth homeless shelters in New Brunswick for people under the age of 19).

If you don't have a stable place to live or you're worried about not having a home, the new Homeless 24/7 HUB drop-in centers are here to help you. Here's what they'll do:
All-in-one support: The centers will offer different kinds of help all in one place. Government, community agencies, and local teams that support individuals who are homeless will work together to support you. The goal is to remove barriers and help you find a place to live instead of staying in emergency shelters.
Connecting you to services: When you come to these centers, they'll help you get services for health, mental health, addictions, assessing money, getting ID, reuniting with family, and more. They'll connect you to the services you need to make your life better.
