We Are Stronger Together

As we all continue to move forward, Carty House has never backed away from its mission to provide housing for refugee women who arrived alone in Canada. It has been quite a challenging time for everyone. Thank you for your continued concern for our residents. Your support reminds them that they are not alone.

We continue to take important precautions to keep our residents, volunteers, and staff, safe.

As always, if you are moved to support these women and the mission of Carty House, donations are gratefully accepted.

Be safe, everyone.

Carty House in the News!

May 2020

Although this interview is from May 2020, it truly represents how Carty House residents feel about the support they continue to receive.

CBC was interested in highlighting how lesser-known populations were dealing with the pandemic, so they reached out to us.  In the midst of the challenges we were facing, we thought that it was important to share how the community was rallying around our female refugees. Our supporters continue to give so generously! It’s an uplifting story in these challenging times!
