Ontario Association of Interval and Transition Houses

The Ontario Association of Interval and Transition Houses operates a network of shelters and support services across the GTA and broader Ontario that provide safe housing and counseling to women and children fleeing domestic violence. The organization manages residential programs where residents receive crisis intervention, safety planning, and access to counseling while working toward stable housing and independence. Staff help residents navigate legal systems, access income support, and rebuild their lives free from abuse. Beyond shelter operations, the association advocates for policy changes to address domestic violence and trains frontline workers across the province. The organization serves hundreds of women and children annually, offering emergency accommodation alongside longer-term transitional housing and follow-up support services in communities throughout the region.
