Second stage housing

How to be accomodated in a 2nd stage shelter?

The admission process at Nouvelle-Étape is done by referral from a 1st stage housing facility after a minimum of 1 month of residence. An application form must be completed and sent to us by email.

Then, there is a selection interview. This allows for a comprehensive assessment of the woman's situation in order to evaluate if our housing resource can meet her needs and if our living and intervention environment will allow her to progress properly.

After the interview, the selection committee makes its assessment and decides if the woman can be accepted based on various criteria such as the need for security.
