Who We Are
Stella’s Circle helps people who face challenges by providing housing, mental health, and employment support.
We serve adults facing barriers to fully participating in their community, including mental illness, addictions, trauma, poverty, homelessness, criminal justice involvement, low literacy, and unemployment. We believe everyone should have a chance to be part of their community.
Our mission to help transform lives through Real Homes, Real Help, and Real Work.
Our vision is simple: A Home. A Job. A Community.
All of work is guided by our core values of respect, wisdom, connectedness, innovation, and courage.

Her work laid the foundation for what Stella’s Circle is today – a leader in social justice, housing, mental health, and employment.
As an outreach ministry of the United Church of Canada, our history is rooted in the principles of compassion, inclusion, and social justice that Stella Burry championed. Stella’s Circle has grown from its early days as Emmanuel House to a celebrated, nationally recognized organization that serves thousands of individuals each year.
