Transitional and Housing Support

Guidance for those undergoing a life change in relation to housing

The Transitional and Housing Support program is designed to provide support to women entering into or leaving shelter and to those in the community who are in need of support related to abuse in their lives. Risk assessments, safety planning and assistance with housing, Ontario Works and the legal system as well as other community supports are provided.
