Women's Transition Housing & Supports Program
Over the past year, the devoted Women's Transition Housing & Supports Program (WTHSP) team has directed its efforts toward the significant commitment by government to establish new housing for women and children fleeing violence, achieving remarkable success along the way. To showcase some of the teams noteworthy housing projects, our four regions have opened the following safe spaces for women and children: - In the Lower Mainland, we proudly unveiled Cheryl Smith Residence which is 12 units of Second Stage housing in Abbotsford, operated by SARA for Women. - In the Interior, our latest achievement is the West Kelowna Women’s Project opening Transition Home and Second Stage units, operated by Central Okanagan Emergency Shelter Society. - On Vancouver Island, we eagerly anticipate the opening of Eagle Harbour (operated by Campbell River & North Island Transition Society) and Wiiksahiqu?it (operated by Sage Haven) which translates to "Safe Home". When they open in the coming weeks, both will be Second Stage housing and will welcome new residents. In June 2023, Comox Valley Transition Society opened Darry’s Place which also operates as Second Stage housing.
