Edmonton Seniors Home Supports Program

The Edmonton Seniors Home Supports Program (SHSP) is a referral service that gives seniors referrals to screened service providers which offer snow removal, yard help, housekeeping. home repair and maintenance, personal services, and moving help. The program divides the city of Edmonton into six districts. In each district a seniors organization acts as a community hub to coordinate the program in that area of Edmonton.
