Our RISE program is a residential follow-up program designed to support those women and children in need of long-term support. While many women come to Nova House for short-term support, others may have less opportunity and access to external supports. The RISE Program at Nova House provides longer-term transitional housing and programming for one year to help and support women learning how to live a life free from abuse.
The RISE program is aimed towards assisting women by providing a wide range of support services and programming. Our programs encourage independence, self-esteem, and help to build confidence. We also provide workshops and training toward a better education, job development, and self-sufficiency.

-
Childcare
-
Parent and child well-being

Nova House has one interim housing unit in the community that helps us provide safe accommodation and continued support and programming when the emergency program is complete, but safe housing is not yet available.
