abusive situation, and are seeking safe affordable housing,
Newfoundland Labrador Housing (Housing) may be able to assist you.
Through our Victims of Family Violence Policy:
- We provide special
priority for victims of family violence when applying for housing or
seeking a transfer within Housing;
- An applicant may apply
for housing if they are in an abusive
home situation, seek temporary refuge with friends or relatives, or
move to an emergency shelter;
- Applicants are assigned a
Tenant Relations Officer (TRO), who is a registered professional social
worker, to help them through the process, answer their questions and
can refer them to any counseling they may require;
- All applications are kept
strictly confidential.

Newfoundland
Labrador Housing is aware that one of the greatest issues facing
victims of family violence is finding a safe affordable place to live.
As a Violence Prevention Initiative
partner, Housing recognizes that the lack of appropriate or available
permanent shelter may often prevent families from escaping an abusive
environment. Since 1991, Newfoundland Labrador Housing has offered
alternative housing for victims of family violence and has helped more
than 1,500 families province-wide regain control and rebuild their
lives.
