OUR SERVICES

Nova House provides housing and supportive services for individuals and families affected by gender-based violence, family violence, and housing insecurity.

Our programs are designed to promote safety, healing, stability, and independence through a combination of supportive housing, outreach services, advocacy, counselling, education, and community connections. We recognize that every person's journey is unique and work alongside individuals and families to help them achieve their goals and build a strong foundation for the future.

Whether someone is seeking housing, support, resources, or opportunities for personal growth, Nova House offers a client-centered and trauma-informed approach that meets people where they are and supports them on their path forward.

We have trained Protection Order Designates (POD) to assist

with the preparation and filing of protection orders.

All of our services are free and confidential.

Groups, Workshops, and Community Activities

Nova House believes that healing and personal growth happen through connection, learning, and community. Throughout the year, we offer a variety of groups, workshops, and activities for individuals and families living in our transitional housing programs.

Residents may participate in life skills workshops, wellness activities, educational sessions, seasonal events, and opportunities that foster social connection and personal development.

Many of our workshops and educational opportunities are also open to members of the broader community. These may include lunch-and-learn sessions, presentations on topics related to healthy relationships, personal well-being, housing stability, financial literacy, parenting, self-care, and other issues relevant to the needs and interests of our community.

Our goal is to create welcoming opportunities for people to learn, connect, build confidence, and strengthen the skills needed to thrive.

TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM

Nova House provides supportive transitional housing for individuals and families affected by gender-based violence, family violence, and housing insecurity.

Our housing program is designed to offer more than a safe place to live. It provides a supportive environment where residents can access the resources, guidance, and services needed to build stability, strengthen independence, and work toward their personal goals.

Housing options range from bachelor suites to four-bedroom family units and include both apartment-style accommodations and community-based housing throughout Selkirk. Placement is based on individual needs, family composition, and program availability.

Residents have access to a variety of supportive services, including:

Individualized Support Planning
Advocacy and Systems Navigation
Counselling and Emotional Support
Safety Planning
Life Skills Development
Housing Navigation and Future Housing Planning
Community Resource Referrals
Goal Setting and Independence Planning

Our housing program recognizes that every person's journey is unique. Through a client-centered and trauma-informed approach, Nova House works alongside residents to help them achieve safety, healing, stability, and long-term success within the community.

At Nova House, housing is not simply about providing a place to stay—it is about creating opportunities for people to rebuild their lives, strengthen their confidence, and move toward a future of safety and independence.
