FIRST-STAGE SHELTER<\/h2>\nEmergency accommodation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Our first-stage shelter can accommodate 24 women who are victims of domestic violence, with or without children. A request for accommodation and specific needs are assessed during a phone consultation.<\/p>\n
We also welcome a few women in difficulty each year (evicted, unsanitary housing, etc.), as well as for women who are victims of domestic violence (abusive father, mother, sister, etc.), and their children.<\/p>\n
Each family has a private bedroom and shares common areas (kitchen, living room, dining room, leisure room, laundry room and bathrooms) with other families. Meals are prepared by a cook. Residents help ensure a clean and pleasant living environment for all.<\/p>\n
The length of each stay is 8 weeks, though this can be adapted to each woman\u2019s needs. Individualized psychosocial support is offered to every woman to equip her to break the cycle of violence and regain her autonomy in a safe environment.<\/p>\n
We offer children a secure, soothing, warm and stimulating environment. Our educators ensure that all their needs are met.<\/p>\n
A financial contribution of $5 per day is requested for accommodation. However, if women have no income or money at the time of their request, they will not be denied shelter.<\/p>\n<\/div>
