While we continue to create and to advocate for more affordable housing, we must also focus on prevention, to reduce housing loss.
Here’s how our program works to support women and families facing eviction. Email evictionprevention@adsumforwomen.org to see whether you’re eligible for support.
Punishing service providers & reinforcing NIMBYism will not solve homelessness. Housing that people can actually afford - and supports when needed - is the solution to homelessness. Stop stigmatizing people - and the organizations meeting their basic needs.
We supported 80+ families to move into temporary or permanent housing over the past year or so, leaving behind hotel rooms that should only be an emergency response. Nova Scotians need housing that is secure safe & affordable.
We’re working to end homelessness through housing, services and advocacy.

We are so grateful for your support Halifax 💕 Thank you!
Wishing all those celebrating this week connection and joy.
Yeah. We had a similar response last year. A total of 5 requests, no joy. We stopped trying.
While many happy holiday traditions centre on home, warmth & hope, too many Nova Scotians are housing insecure. They don’t have the stability to find this sense of peace & joy.
Over the holidays, we’re sharing the words of a tenant who knows the impact of having a stable home. #housingisahumanright

Countering the narrative that even in brutal weather, there is space inside for everyone. We know women stay in unsafe situations when shelters are full.
And a reminder that housing is the solution to homelessness. @globalhalifax share.google/xloayjtmRcMb...

as they flee Gender-Based Violence and secure a safer place to live. This is part of a series of informative posts developed with various organizations for the 16 days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. @sheltermovers.bsky.social
#16days
we can work together to provide individuals with trauma-informed support aimed at reducing barriers associated with accessing secure and safe housing.
For many, navigating GBV is an isolating experience, BUT no one should feel alone. As a community, we must support women and children
When women & families flee Gender-Based Violence the experience can be daunting. For many, lack of affordability, limited finances & uncertainty around supports available act as barriers to accessing safe housing.
With the support of organizations like Adsum for Women & Children and Shelter Movers,
Today we join the global call for an end to violence against women in all its forms.

No single approach will solve the housing issue, but Adsum wants to see much more emphasis placed on building, maintaining and renovating #housing that is considered truly affordable. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
