The YWCA Quebec’s emergency shelter offers free accommodation to women* with or without children by providing them with a safe place to stay.
This service is for women in very vulnerable situations, women without financial resources, without adequate social networks or without a place to sleep.
Accompanied by a shelter worker, the woman in emergency shelter must relocate within 30 days of her admission.
The YWCA of Québec is governed by the Act to Aid Victims of Crime and to Promote their Recovery (AAPVIC). To file a complaint related to our hosting services, please click on this link.
