RFP – OG Hub Evaluation

Organizational Background

Huronia Transition Homes (HTH) is a feminist registered charity in Simcoe County. The organization’s mission statement is as follows:

“We believe that all violence against all women and children must end. We are community members who are committed to education, advocacy, harm reduction, and poverty reduction as a means to end violence. HURONIA TRANSITION HOMES is also committed to providing shelter and support to abused women and their children and to providing counselling to women survivors of sexual assault and socioeconomic opportunities through social enterprise.

HTH operates five (5) core programs: La Maison Rosewood Shelter, Athena’s Sexual Assault Counselling & Advocacy Centre, Choices for Children and Operation Grow.

• La Maison Rosewood Shelter provides emergency accommodation to women and their children who are fleeing abuse, and/or experiencing homelessness. In addition to shelter, Rosewood offers individual counselling, group counselling, legal system navigation, outreach support, referrals and 24-hour crisis line support.
• Athena’s Sexual Assault Counselling & Advocacy Centre provides support to women 16 years of age and over who have experienced sexual abuse or intimate partner violence at any time in their lives.
• Choices for Children is a county-wide group program for mothers and their children who have been exposed to abuse against their mothers.
• Operation Grow is a social enterprise integrating a hydroponic vertical farm, an inspected kitchen, a yoga studio, training rooms, and retail space to provide low-barrier employment supports and non-therapeutic supports to women who have survived violence.
• Anti Human Trafficking Program provides specialized services and supports to women who have been trafficked. This includes longer-term supportive residential program, case management and system navigation
