Description
YWCA Harbour House – Women’s Emergency Shelter, is a 30-bed crisis unit for women and children who are involved in abusive intimate partner relationships. Harbour House families are provided accommodations for a maximum of 21 days, with staff available for counselling and support 24 hours a day. They provide the women and children with free education sessions on the impact of family violence on children; the cycle and dynamics of violence; and safety planning. This shelter turns away more than 2000 women and children per year which demonstrates the desperate need for a new facility.
