Shelters
Expand Domestic Violence Shelters & Transitional Housing
Shelters are full, underfunded, and unable to meet growing demand.
Proposals:
-
Double municipal funding to domestic violence shelters by 2028.
-
Expand shelter capacity in underserved areas (e.g., South and Northeast).
-
Invest in second-stage and transitional housing, with wraparound supports like childcare and legal aid.
-
Prioritize First Nations-led and culturally safe services.
-
Work with the province to match funding for shelter operations and housing programs.
