Programs & Services
Harbour House offers shelter and counseling to women as they transition and explore options for their lives during or after an experience of intimate partner violence.
Shelter
We have 15 beds for women and children, including an accessible bedroom. Families will stay in the same room and women without dependents may share bedroom space.
We have a comfortable environment, with living space and access to Transition House Workers 24 hours a day. We work alongside every woman and child who comes into the shelter to help them along their journey. We can help through providing supportive counselling, housing assistance, connection to community resources and support throughout the legal processes.

Our outreach team can provide supportive counselling, advocacy, and support navigating the justice system. Outreach is also available to provide education sessions to employers or community groups that educate on the impacts of gender-based violence.
