Carty House

Our Mission

Carty House was established ten years ago as transitional housing for immigrant women. Over the years, and now in its second location, the program has come to focus on women who are refugee claimants or government sponsored refugees. The House has eight bedrooms and comfortable common areas available for the women. They are expected to contribute both financially and in kind with shared responsibility for cooking and household chores. In return, they receive compassionate, purposeful service from staff and volunteers, including tutoring and help with accessing healthcare, employment programs and appropriate housing. There have also been powerful examples of reunification with children arriving from overseas after persistent effort on the part of Carty House.
