About this service
The Safe Choice Program is a second stage transition home and provides supportive temporary housing to facilitate security, independence, and personal growth for women and children who have experienced violence. Independent living suits are available for women (and their children) seeking safety from family violence.
Most of our referrals are from first stage transition houses, shelters, the Domestic Violence Unit of the Vancouver Police Department, or Stopping the Violence counsellors. The Safe Choice Program typically serves families facing multiple barriers including issues of poverty, racism, health, immigration and language barriers.
The stay at Safe Choice is for up to 12 months while the women develop and follow through on a plan for their long-term independent living, free of family violence. Some of the services we provide are crisis intervention, ongoing support, safety planning, parenting support, life skills training, referrals to other resources and advocacy.
