Women Moving Toward Stability

More women are seeking shelter at Hope Mission than ever before. Five years ago, one in four people accessing shelter were women. Today, it's one in three. And daily shelter occupancy for women has doubled in just three years. In this special summer episode of Hope Stories, you'll hear Michelle's journey from the Karis Centre to her own home, where she's rebuilding her life. You'll also hear a preview of an earlier episode that explores why women's homelessness is often less visible—and why the need has reached a breaking point. To learn more, listen to “Rising Demand for Women’s Shelter” on Apple or Spotify—or click here to read the story. Plus, we look ahead to upcoming episodes this fall, including stories about Hope Mission's next emergency shelter and the landlords helping more people find a place to call home.
