About Nisa Homes
We are Nisa Homes
At Nisa Homes, we create the opportunity of ‘home’ for domestic violence survivors across Canada. We envision a flourishing Muslim community in which help is available, shelter is attainable, and healing is possible.
Culturally Responsive Model
For women with or without children
Catered to immigrant, refugee, and non-status women
Nisa Homes was born out of a need to support the most vulnerable and marginalized members of our community. After conducting a feasibility study, we found that culture is vital to immigrant, refugee, and Muslim women. As such, we work hard to provide a place for women to live comfortably and feel safe in a supportive home environment, explore their cultural identity, and directly connect with their community. This helps us ensure their long-term success in restarting their lives and transitioning into independence after trauma or homelessness. This home is a center of empowerment where the vulnerable are given hope, the broken are rebuilt and the helpless are given their dignity.
Shelter
A home of safety, security and confidentiality for women & children.
Heal
Heal emotionally, psychologically, physically and spiritually.
Flourish
Become independent, self-sufficient and active members of our community.
OUR CORE SERVICES
What is a Transitional Home?
It is a safe residence for you and your children to go to if you are in an unsafe home environment, in an abusive relationship, homeless or at risk of homelessness or simply in need of a place of safety. The addresses of transition houses are kept confidential so that women (and children) cannot be found. Transition houses are usually regular houses that are available in most communities and cities.
Can I bring my children to Nisa Homes?
Yes, you can bring your children under the age of 12, but they must also be able to follow the rules and responsibilities of the house.
How long can I stay at Nisa Home?
The duration of stay is determined on a case by case basis, however it is usually between one to three months.
