Our Capital Campaign

After years of operating beyond our current limits...

we are getting a new 
HOME

Last year, two out of three people had
to be turned away - simply because there
wasn’t room.

In response to this overwhelming need, CAWES is building a new facility that will expand capacity more than 200%, dramatically increasing their ability to help individuals and families.

We need your support!

About our future home

The new CAWES facility replaces the existing building constructed in the 1980's, which as only 40 emergency beds. 

The new wheelchair-accessible and energy efficient facility will include 50 emergency shelter beds and 40 long-term transitional housing units. 

Our new facility will have common areas and multipurpose spaces, including a Wellness Centre for group sessions and educational activities

We also prioritize outdoor spaces, with fenced green areas and a playground, to create a safe environment for children to heal and be themselves again.

We offer child-focused healing programs. These programs not only support children but also help mothers learn new parenting skills and healthier ways to interact with their children, once their immediate safety is secured.
