YWCA opens new transitional housing in Lethbridge
It is being heralded as a major gap-filler in the housing spectrum, helping people transition to more long-term stability.
The YWCA Lethbridge & District has opened its newest housing program, Hope.
CEO Jill Young says women and families coming from emergency shelters can live independently while taking the steps towards a life free from violence.
“It really is that longer transitional housing, around six-to-18 months, that allows people to take some time and build some of those skills and recover as needed,” says Young.
