The Transitional Housing & Support Services (TH&SS) provide flexible services to women as they establish violent free lives in their community. Women may be living separate from their abuser and/or residing in an emergency shelter, social housing or other accommodations. Women may be living with their abusers and would like assistance with increasing their safety and the safety of their children.
