Innovative Low-Income Housing Options for Women

This report identifies recommendations for the improvement of low-income housing opportunities for women and girls across Metro Vancouver–specifically in Burnaby, B.C. We are working in partnership with the Elizabeth Fry Society (EFry), a Charitable organisation that supports some of society’s most vulnerable populations – women, girls, and children at risk, involved in, or affected by the justice system.

Their more than two dozen programs work to break the cycle of poverty, addiction, mental illness, homelessness, and crime. EFry is best known for its focus on supporting women and children, in addition to its impactful work within the criminal justice system: it conducts significant prison outreach and has numerous programs for children with incarcerated parents.
