2nd Stage Accommodation

Maison Gisèle Pomerleau offers 20 safe, fully furnished transitional housing units. Our goal is to provide women with a comfortable environment in which to regain control over their lives. With a maximum duration of 11 months, housing is dedicated to women who are victims of domestic violence, with or without children.

Much more than just a place to stay: each woman benefits from the support of a dedicated worker who helps her define and achieve her life goals.

Post-housing follow-up

The length of the stay varies from a few weeks to 11 months, depending on each woman's needs. At the end of your stay, our caregivers provide personalized, confidential follow-up. You can count on our support for as long as you need it, on your journey towards independence.

Awareness-raising activities and conferences

Our counsellors run awareness-raising activities for adults and teenagers. It's essential to inform all age groups about the impact of violence, its cycle and warning signs. Our conferences and awareness-raising activities take place in various public places and schools in the region.
