The Women’s Shelter added a new entity to their existing services.  Next to the Shelter and Second Stage Housing, there is the Community Support Services Building that includes:  two staff offices, a kitchen and large conference room.

Women and children who leave the Shelter are offered longer term services from our Community Support Worker to ensure they have the essential services needed to  continue along their journey toward lives free of violence.

The Community Support Worker and Family Support Worker deliver educational and awareness workshops, life skills support and guidance to all community members including:  Elders, Women, Men, Youth and children.

The Community Support Services staff acknowledge the importance of an addictions free lifestyle  by promoting health and wellness programs for the Shelter and the community at large.

The Shelter has two levels. The ground floor has two offices, a family room, a large dining room, a kitchen, a pantry, and two full bathrooms. All the major entries to the Shelter are wheelchair accessible. The facility is fully-furnished to provide the basic living comforts to the women and children. The dining room can seat sixteen people and is equipped with the additional booster seats and high chairs.

The lower level has an office, a peace room, a play room, a donations room, a laundry room, and a storage room.

We offer one-year accommodations to the women and children who want to make a permanent change for a better lifestyle. Women who have completed their twenty-one day stay in the Shelter have the option to move into one of the four self-contained units. Three houses have up to six bedrooms, two full baths including a laundry room and a full size basement. One unit is equipped for persons with disabilities and includes a wheel-chair accessible bathroom. The Shelter Residents and the Second Stage Housing tenants share a large playground and play ground toys.

The women are encouraged to prepare meals and do household chores on a rotating basis.

The women are encouraged to follow the rules and guidelines of the Shelter.
