How Much Does Safety Cost?


Did you know that violence is the leading cause of homelessness for women? As housing in Toronto becomes increasingly unaffordable, we know the cost of rent is only one part of the picture. For women, girls, and gender-diverse communities, having safe and affordable housing can make the difference between being able to leave a violent situation or not.

Check out our new Safe and Affordable Housing Calculator to see how the path to safe and affordable housing looks different for women experiencing violence. Learn how you can help champion women with YWCA Toronto and join the movement, along with thousands of others, for safe and affordable housing.
