Questions?

We have answers.

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.

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.

The duration of stay is determined on a case by case basis, however it is usually between one to three months.
