My Aunt's Place

According to Statistics Canada, housing prices in Regina rose 23.1% between August, 2007 and August, 2008. While for some this has created a profit, for others it has created a problem. For still others, it has resulted in crisis. The least fortunate in our city are having difficulty finding any affordable housing at all. Many of these are women and children

YWCA Regina is committed to a community where all women and children have their basic needs met. "My Aunt's Place" is a temporary YWCA shelter for those facing the crisis of homelessness. With 24 hour staffing, the program is prepared to support people in moving toward stability. The accommodation is communal and not long-term, but it is a safe, warm place for people facing Regina's winter without appropriate housing.
