Regina Transition House expansion

New space at the Regina Transition House will allow shelter staff to offer safe housing and transitional support services to more women and children trying to rebuild their lives after experiencing domestic violence.

“The most difficult time for the women we serve is when they have made the brave decision to leave an abuser and come to our shelter. Shelter staff often make the heartbreaking decision to turn away women and children needing emergency refuge because there is no room,” said shelter executive director Maria Hendrika in a news release. More than 13,000 women and children have had experiences like this since the Regina Transition House first opened its doors 36 years ago. The expansion increases the shelter’s capacity by 50 per cent.
