enCompass Community Safety Agency

Welcome to enCompass Community Safety Agency (previously known as the Edmonton John Howard Society)! We’ve been serving the Edmonton area since 1949, with a proud history of supporting those who have been affected by crime and social disorder. To this day, we remain committed to helping individuals reintegrate from justice and related systems, creating safe and vibrant communities. enCompass provides holistic services and wraparound supports that address the root causes of crime and social disorder. We do this through preventative and restorative activities including release planning, housing, safety planning, employment transition, education, substance recovery, cultural supports and more. By exemplifying care, compassion and understanding, we are laying the foundations for positive change.
