The severe
lack of affordable housing in the Montreal area has forced many already
vulnerable women to become homeless. This same context also makes
social reintegration more difficult.
Herstreet offers a range of complementary services with the goal of
promoting access to supervised or independent housing depending on
the capacities of each woman. When resources permit, our support includes
the following:
active housing searches (visits, negotiations with landlords,
etc.)
moving (transportation and labour)
setting up (placement of furnishings, etc.)
budget management and rent payment
support with neighbour relations
Women in transition receive follow-up support as long as they need
it. They may still participate in the activity program and, during
times of crisis, are welcome to seek refuge at the Olga
House.
Thanks to its agreement with SHAPEM,
a non-profit housing organization, Herstreet enjoys privileged access
to housing units located close to the Olga House. We are pursuing efforts to develop similar solutions. |
