Housing for Women and Children Fleeing Interpersonal Violence

Provides transition and other housing for women and children in Chilliwack who are fleeing interpersonal violence and abuse.

The following housing options are offered:

Transition House: Wilma's transition society offers safe and temporary housing, support and advocacy for women and their children. The transition house operates a seven bedroom, 18 bed facility, offering a free, temporary safe haven for women and their children who are victims of family violence. Maximum length of stay is 30 days. This first-stage housing facility is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Second Stage Housing: A housing complex for women and their children who have made the decision to break away from family violence and accept a more healthy, positive, and violence-free lifestyle. We are here to assist and support change. Our housing complex consists of 5 furnished self-contained apartments. There are mandatory programs for the women to participate in and structured learning and play groups for the children.
Third Stage Housing: A housing complex for women and their children who have made the decision to break away from family violence and accept a more healthy, positive, and violence-free lifestyle. We are here to assist and support change. Our housing complex consists of 9 self-contained apartments. This program is for women and children who are out of the crisis phase and ready to create positive changes moving forward. We have units available for women with and without children in this program.
