Services: Women’s Emergency Accommodation Centre (WEAC) offers short-term emergency housing to homeless and transient women who have little or no income. Women who come to WEAC may be trying to overcome mental health or substance abuse problems, or to leave prostitution or abusive relationships. Or, they simply be alone, poor and without support. WEAC provides free semi-private rooms, meals and clothing to women-in-need 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. We recognize that some hard-to-house clients have a difficult time finding suitable long-term housing.
