TORONTO, March 4, 2021 /CNW/ - As International Women s Day approaches, 25 local women will celebrate by moving into their new home. Fred Victor – a Toronto charity committed to ending homelessness – will welcome the women into its new shelter: Fatima House.
The shelter is re-locating from 86 Lombard Street to the 1059 College Street site.
Fatima House is a newly-renovated, accessible and pet-friendly shelter that will serve as a temporary home for up to 52 women (the current occupancy is reduced due to COVID-19 precautions). The shelter will offer meals, counselling and healthcare services, as well as housing support. Staff onsite will work with the women to help them move on to permanent, affordable housing.
