How does Safe Transitions help?
Safe Transitions is a transitional housing solution. We're a Toronto-based non-profit connecting shelters with landlords and vacant properties to provide safe housing for survivors of rising domestic violence and human trafficking. This in turn frees up space in shelters for incoming emergencies that are currently at an all-time high. Additionally, we set up our clients for success with the support system and resources necessary to get back on their feet.
Safety isn’t expensive, it’s priceless
