About this service

Marys Place provides support to women who are seeking an environment that supports sobriety while they transition from homelessness to independent living. Transitional housing is effective for many people who need a small amount of support to make changes in their life including:

  • Personal growth goals
  • Lifestyle changes
  • Developing new techniques and strategies for maintaining mental health and stability
  • Examples of ways to attain these changes include:
  • Regular attendance at groups for substance use
  • Therapist sessions
  • Participation in workshops, seminars, government programs
  • Training by non-profit groups in the community
  • Education upgrading and formal career-related programs

The length of stay generally ranges from 30 days to 2-3 years. No alcohol or other substances are allowed in the building and residents must commit to sobriety. If a resident finds they need more support, they can be temporarily transferred to an emergency shelter bed or can apply to Marthas Place.
