About this service
Our Housing Outreach Program and Housing First teams work hard to advocate for access to women's housing opportunities, decreases in barriers to housing, and more supports for women to feel empowered in the community.
The Housing Team works hard to help break down barriers for women accessing stable housing. They also offer support with utility bills if women are at risk of losing their homes, which often prevents a woman from being evicted. Other examples include necessary purchases such as bedding, kitchen items or referral support to navigate other community resources. With the significant increase of women using these services, the Downtown Eastside Women's Centres team of three has grown into a team of six housing outreach workers.
Who can use it?
Women accessing stable housing.
