About this service
United House provides transitional housing and supports to women leaving the Women and Childrens Shelter of Barrie in our 5 renovated, fully furnished apartments. Since opening United House, we have expanded this partnership to offer additional housing options through our Second Suites program. Usually women who have reached the end of their allotted time at the womens shelter are still on the waitlist for Rent Geared to Income (RGI) housing placements. This puts them in the position of choosing between housing they cannot afford, homelessness, or returning to abusive partners. Working closely with the Barrie Women and Childrens Shelter, we fill this gap in affordable housing, dramatically increasing the likelihood of our clients transitioning sustainably out of abuse. At United House and in our Second Suites apartments, women (and their children, if applicable) can stay while they wait for RGI housing to become available. When women do not meet the mandate for Special Priority status on the waitlist for RGI housing, they can stay for up to one year while they set housing goals for themselves and develop and implement a housing plan to achieve their goals. During this time, our Housing Coordinator provides support with budgeting, education around tenant rights and responsibilities, accessing basic needs, income and employment supports, and housing search.
