Women fleeing domestic violence not only need access to emergency shelter, they need access to longer-term and safe transitional housing.
That is the focus of a research partnership between the Sudbury Women’s Centre and Cambrian College.
The research was recently conducted and led by social researcher Caitlin McAuliffe, in coordination with Cambrian applied research division.
The team evaluated various models of transitional housing, as well as available funding, governance, and support services and included exploring different types of transitional housing. Key recommendations include 24/7 emergency crisis assistance, on-site childcare, free food shelves and more.
The findings will now be presented to community partners including the city.
