We believe that every family deserves a secure and nurturing environment where they can thrive. Our Safe and Secure Spaces Campaign is dedicated to transforming our facilities into sanctuaries of safety and growth for children and mothers previously experiencing homelessness. By investing in vital infrastructure improvements and creating welcoming, secure spaces, we are committed to providing a foundation for families to grow and thrive.

Why Safe and Secure Spaces Matter: For the families we serve, safety is more than just a necessity—it is the foundation upon which they can rebuild their lives. In addition to housing and financial instability, the vast majority of the families at Saint Louise House have faced the additional trauma of domestic violence. Ensuring their security is crucial for their healing and long-term success.

Our Planned Improvements:

• Gates and Security Measures: Upgrading our fencing and gate systems to prevent unauthorized access and ensure a protected environment.
• Paved Parking Lots: Improving the parking facilities for better safety and accessibility for residents and visitors.
• Outdoor Lighting: Installing additional lighting to increase visibility of children and overall security during evening hours.
• Green Spaces and Playscapes: Creating safe and inviting outdoor areas for children and their mothers to play, learn and connect.
• New Safety Fencing Surrounding Campuses: Upgrading to more robust fencing to ensure the safety and security of our residents.
• Security Camera Upgrade: Enhancing our surveillance capabilities to better monitor and protect our properties.
• Apartment Safety Features: Implementing various safety measures within individual apartments to ensure the well-being of all residents.

Impact on Families: Every improvement we make directly impacts the well-being of the 46 families living on our two campuses. By creating secure, supportive environments, we keep families together, enabling mothers and children to move beyond their past experiences and face new futures with confidence. Our goal is to foster resilience, a sense of community and independence.

How You Can Help: Your support is vital to the success of the Safe and Secure Spaces Campaign. Whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading awareness, your involvement makes a tangible difference. Together, we can create sanctuaries where families are not just safe but empowered to thrive.
