The Difference that Janet’s Place Makes
Second-stage housing for domestic abuse survivors is crucial for several reasons:
Transitional Support: Janet’s Place offers a link between emergency shelters (like SAGE Transition House) and permanent housing. Survivors need time to recover and regain stability before securing long-term housing, and second-stage housing provides that essential transitional support.
Community: Families at Janet’s Place can stay in the community and remain close to their existing support network—friends, teachers, and important figures alike. By supporting our programs, you are ensuring that our families don’t have to face the aftermath of abuse alone.
Strength and Independence: While staying at Janet’s Place, residents have access to our programs and services, which aim to address the myriad ways that violence can impact a family. These resources help survivors heal and further develop the skills needed to achieve independence and build self-sufficient futures.
Overall, second-stage housing plays a key role in helping survivors move from crisis to stability, where support for the entire family is available and nearby.
Our heartfelt thanks
On behalf of everyone here at North Shore Crisis Services Society, thank you, Kiwanis Club of West Vancouver, for illuminating the path to brighter futures at Janet’s Place.
