Programs

Tamitik Status of Women is proposing to construct new second stage housing for women and children and low-income / subsidized social housing units, while consolidating our services to one location.  The mixed-use housing project will greatly increase Tamitik Status of Women’s capacity to serve our clients, creating a continuum of housing options which will offer security, a supportive community environment, and opportunities for education, training and skills development for women and their children.
