Housing Services
Why we created this program
A safe home is more than just four walls – it’s the foundation for a new beginning. For women escaping intimate partner violence, having a secure place to rebuild their lives with their children can make all the difference.
Finding safe, affordable housing is an essential step in the journey to economic self-sufficiency and independence, which is why our Housing Services provide survivors with the support and resources they need to create a fresh start.
About Our Housing Services
Our Housing team supports each client with their housing needs, whether they are looking for subsidized housing, private market housing, or advice regarding housing-related issues.
The BESS Program supports our clients through the transition to safe and affordable housing as well as after they have moved, based on their individual needs. As an example of the support provided, we help clients navigate their new communities, find affordable or donated home furnishings, access financial resources and make community connections.
Our Goals
We aim to make our clients transition to safe and affordable housing as smooth and comfortable as possible.
