Kootenay Haven Transition House
We offer safe short-term housing and support services to help women and their children who have experienced or are at risk of abuse, threats or violence. The transition house offers free, 24-hour support and consultation in a safe and secure home-like setting.
Our services include:
-providing access to safe, secure and confidential services;
-providing information and supports for decision making short-term shelter
-referrals to other services; and links to affordable housing.
The home has 10 beds and service is provided on a highest-need, first-served basis. Fundamental to our services is respect for women's rights to make choices based on their own understanding of their options.
After completing program services, nearly all of participants who provided feedback said they were transitioning into a safer place to live, had an increased understanding of the cycle of violence, and felt more aware of and connected to community supports.
We also offer longer-term (usually up to 18 months) transitional housing and support services to women and their children who have experienced abuse through our Haven Gardens housing program.
