Women’s Emergency Accommodation Centre (WEAC) offers
short-term emergency housing to homeless and transient
women who have little or no income. Women who
come to WEAC may be trying to overcome mental health or
substance abuse problems, or to leave prostitution or abusive
relationships. Or they may simply be alone, poor and
without support. WEAC provides free semi-private rooms,
meals and clothing to women-in-need 24 hours a day,
365 days per year. We recognize that some hard-to-house
clients have a diffi cult time fi nding suitable long-term
housing.
