"Home Horizon helped me find a safe and affordable place to live, gain strength and self esteem. Home Horizon saved my life and the lives of my children."
Joanne's Story
"I lived in an abusive home for many years. I left once but was forced to return, because I had no support and no way of keeping my family safe. My children and I lived in fear. When the abuse escalated, I went to the local women's shelter and they helped me to access Home Horizon's Transitional Support Program. Home Horizon helped me find a safe and affordable place to live, gain strength and self esteem. Home Horizon saved my life and the lives of my children."
Our Mission:
Home Horizon provides a program of safe, affordable, "transitional" housing combined with appropriate counselling and support services for homeless, vulnerable individuals and their families.
Our Program:
In our "neighbourhood", families in crisis often have no place to go. Counselling, combined with a safe place to live, helps our clients deal with issues such as leaving a violent situation, loss of employment, serious illness, and social isolation. Families who find themselves in these vulnerable predicaments are often forced to relocate, further disrupting their already fragile family support. Our clients are in need of transitional housing and counselling while in the process of re-establishing their lives.
Our Progress:
In our first two years of operation, 17 families totalling 36 women and children have been able to take advantage of our Transitional Support Program. These families have moved on to independent living and are doing very well.
