New partnership in Regina to provide housing, programming for families fleeing domestic violence
SOFIA House is a long-term housing program that has been providing safe housing and support for women and children fleeing interpersonal violence for over 35 years. The SOPHIA House executive director said there is a high need for this kind of support for survivors of violence.“Recent conversations about IPV in Saskatchewan have shone a light on the gaps that still exist in our province in these areas,” Tmira Marchment said in a release.
“Avana has continued to step up for our community and ensure that families facing violence have long-term, stable places to call home while receiving SOFIA House programming.” These suites will begin to receive residents in the new year. However, both organizations are calling on the Saskatchewan government to support SOFIA House’s current proposal for operational funding for this project.
