Women (with or without children) who are experiencing difficulties (a woman evicted from her home, political refugee, recommendation by a youth court judge, substandard housing, etc.).
Your situation will be assessed by a caseworker during a telephone interview. It is important to point out that La Dauphinelle cannot accommodate women who are active alcohol or drug users, in the interest of providing a safe environment for residents and their children. Women with a mental health diagnosis can be accommodated provided they are taking their medication and their condition is stable.
Depending on your situation, we can provide you with guidance for a few months after you leave so you can complete the process you began while you were at La Dauphinelle.
However, if a woman has no money when she seeks accommodation, she will not be turned away. The caseworker will assist the woman in taking the necessary steps to become financially autonomous so she can pay for her room and board once she has established an income.
Nominal deposits are refunded at the end of the stay: $10 for bedding (if it has not been damaged) and $2 for the room key.
We do not set a limit on the number of children and consider requests based on the number of available rooms and our ability to adapt our facilities.
For older children, there is no age limit for girls, but we will do a telephone evaluation with those over age 18.
We will help you find the best solution for your situation.
Then, if the woman comes to stay at La Dauphinelle, we will use the services of an interpreter.
