About this service

At the Womens Shelter at 172 OConnor, women find what they need to meet their basic needs, right now like emergency shelter, personal care, and nutritious food. And, once the crisis passes, shell receive the community support thats so vital to secure permanent housing and live with independence. This emergency shelter provides 62 beds for more than 400 women every year. The women who arrive at The Womens Shelter do so because they havent been able to pay rent, or have disabilities that are making housing difficult, are newcomers to Canada or are facing abuse or trauma at home. Our main goal for each of the women is to answer the question: How can we help you find a safe place to live that you can afford? Residents at the Womens Shelter have a shared bedroom, along with washroom, dining and living rooms.
