Alice Housing Alice's Kids

Alice Housing's mandate is to provide housing for women and children who are survivors of abuse, but it does much more than that. Women often remain in abusive situations because they lack not only housing, but also family support, financial, and emotional resources. Alice Housing offers a supportive environment in which healing can begin and women can make positive changes in their lives and the lives of their children.

While emergency shelters respond to short-term emergencies, Alice Housing provides safe and secure housing for an extended period.
