Homelessness Prevention Program
The Homelessness Prevention Program provides women (with or without children) who have experienced or are at risk of violence with temporary rent supplements to help them stabilize housing. The rent supplements and support services help recipients access rental housing in the private (non-subsidized) housing market and community-based services.
These services are primarily for CWAVS clients who have been referred by their counsellors.
**Note: These services are in high demand and we currently do not have space on waitlists.
