Transitional Housing and Life Skill Training

Renaissance Empowerment Ministry of Edmonton is an organization that provides
transitional housing and life skill training for women. It offers assistance to women,
frequently homeless, as they move from dependent, often abusive relationships into
independent, self-sufficient lifestyles. Additionally, it assists clients in child reunification.
On staff are a pastor, and a family reunification counselor to assist clients.

Renaissance Empowerment Ministry provides clients within an eight-step program that teaches them
necessary life skills. This collaborative approach to empowerment is the keystone to
developing self-sufficiency in the clients. The steps include personal development,
vocational training, substance abuse counseling, interpersonal skills building, community
involvement, leisure activities, and independent living skills.

Renaissance Empowerment Ministry has identified two distinct market segments of
customers based on age; those who are under 30 and those who are 30 and over. The
distinction is important because of the high percentage of clients with children, and those in
the younger market segment having far younger children.

The less than 30 age group is growing annually at 9% and the 30 and over age group growing at 8%. The overwhelming majority of clients come from lower socio-economic population groups. These segments can be difficult to communicate with, yet their use of Renaissance Empowerment Ministry`s
services would give them some profound benefits.
