Windsor's Welcome Centre Shelter For Women is looking for its forever home.
Director of Community Engagement Remy Boulbol says the house on Bridge Ave. is constantly overflowing with clients and there's a lot riding on the centre, given it's the city's only facility providing emergency housing for women and case management for families. "We will continue to do it (provide the service), we've done it for some time and we will always make it work," explains Boulbol. "But it will be a heck of a lot easier with a facility that will be large enough to hold us."
Boulbol says conversations at the municipal and provincial levels are underway, to see what can be done about funding a new facility, but she expects it to take some time.
The centre serves about 300 individual women each year, and now that it's also serving families its overnight numbers are up by about 100 to 200 each month.
A capital campaign is being launched in January of 2016.
