Harmony House is a second stage shelter for women and their children who are survivors of violence. We provide a transition period from crisis shelter services to independent living in the community. At Harmony House we provide safe, affordable housing for up to a year, along with a programme of individual and group support, accompaniment, advocacy and referral. Harmony House promotes the creation of a world where women and their children are safe and free from all forms of violence and oppression. |
At Harmony House, survivors of violence find:
- Someone who believes them and will listen.
- A safe place to live.
- Other women and children who understand what they are going through.
- Help finding a lawyer, legal aid, affordable permanent housing and whatever else they may need.
- Time to rest, think things through and make decisions about the future.
- A chance to start over.
"Harmony House gave me a safe place to heal while starting over."
