Our second location Beverley House, opened in 2002 under the Phase 1 Homelessness Initiative and is a supported licensed rooming house for women who have a history of homelessness and serious mental health challenges. Applicants to the program must be eligible for Ontario Disability Support or Ontario Works. Staff are on site for 24 hours. This program was designed for women who need a lot of day to day support to live successfully in the community.
