THUNDER BAY – A new seven-unit home on Thunder Bay’s south side will help plug what the Elizabeth Fry Society calls a gaping need in the city’s supportive housing landscape.
With 3,062 square feet of living space, seven bedrooms, and two bathrooms, the organization called the premises an ideal transitional housing environment. Supports available to residents will include a dedicated reintegration worker and a systems navigator circle of care.“When people are leaving carceral spaces or at risk of chronic houselessness and are looking for a stable place to live, they need that wrap-around support,” she said.
The Elizabeth Fry Society is a charitable organization that supports and advocates for women and gender diverse people who have been involved with the justice system or who are at risk of criminalization.“You have John Howard Society, Salvation Army, and a lot of violence against women shelters that are available, but they have a specific mandate. We’re really here to create a lower-barrier supportive living environment.
The DSSAB initially provided the funding in April 2022. The home was purchased in October of that year, and construction was completed in January 2023.
