Thank you for making this possible!
We are thrilled to extend our deepest gratitude to you and our incredible community for rallying behind creating safe housing for women survivors of intimate partner violence. When we started this journey, there were many who thought it couldn’t be done – raising four million dollars in a year.
Thank you so much to all the amazing donors – 67 strong – who were inspired to demonstrate an unwavering support of survivors in our community! Your support propelled us far beyond to exceed our goal to raise $4,468,082.97 for the Second-Stage Housing Program at BWSS.
Since 1994, we have sustained a vision to expand the work at BWSS to provide safe housing for women survivors of intimate partner, domestic, and sexualized violence. Today, because of you, this vision is a reality. This Fall 2024, we will welcome 10 families into brand-new condos and townhouses. So join us to celebrate this moment!
Because of you, women and their children fleeing violence can receive transitional housing operated by BWSS to rebuild their lives while accessing the wrap-around support service and advocacy that is already available at our Vancouver office.
Your contributions will directly impact women and children, providing a safe space for women and their children to rest, recover, and rebuild lives ravaged by domestic violence.
What’s Next?
As we celebrate the accomplishment of purchasing housing for a Second-Stage Housing program, this excitement is only the beginning. Please stay tuned to join us as we embark on the next phase of this journey as we look ahead by turning this housing into a home.
Together, we are disrupting the individual and systemic barriers to bring more safe options for women and their children living with domestic violence. We have said it before and will say it again… a safe home changes everything.
