Young women who have been trapped by sexual exploitation and trafficking have a new stepping stone in their journey to recovery through the Avdell Home, Covenant House Toronto’s second specialized, supported housing program.
The program supports up to six young women at a time, aged 16-24, who are leaving difficult situations. They receive 24-7 help with safety planning, health care, mental health and substance use support, in addition to legal assistance, education and job training.
The Avdell Home fills the gap between the support provided by two crisis beds in Covenant House’s emergency shelter and the longer-term transitional housing offered in The Rogers Home.
