Community, security and care. There are a number of not-for-profit housing corporations in Ontario which provide geared-to-income housing to those in need. Redwood Park Communities has a different role to play. We believe that providing affordable housing is just the first step in helping these women regain control of their lives and futures; it has to go beyond that. After consulting with the directors of the Women & Children’s Shelter in Barrie, we have decided on a plan of action. We renovate properties to continue to provide these women with a community environment. This will allow them to continue to care for and support each other as they step into this new phase in their lives. Another important renovation Redwood Park Communities will make is an increase in security at each of our properties in order to ensure that the women can focus on healing without fear for their safety.

The Grande Prairie Women's Residency Association operates Odyssey House, a 40 bed emergency shelter for victims of abuse and control.

This is the next step after the shelter, offering women and their children safe and affordable living on a long term basis. Additional programs and supportive measures will be in place to ensure a successful transition from abuse to healthy and happy members of our community.
