Victoria Women’s Transition House
The Shelter provides safe, supportive accommodation for up to 30 days for women with or without children. This service is more than just safe housing; it’s a place of renewal and support. Additionally, the Shelter provides programs specifically for children who have come with their mothers and have witnessed intimate partner violence and abuse in their homes.
