As you say, they're kind of lost in the middle. If they come to the transition house because of an abuse issue, we ultimately have to set them up with the province for housing. We try to find housing for them, because there isn't priority. We try to set them up with social income. That is sometimes also hard, because then we have to go back to their first nation. They need to have a letter saying they have not received help from their first nation. Sometimes women can't get that because it's hard and they don't know who to contact, and stuff. So it's kind of like they're in limbo. They don't know where to go. They may go to the friendship centre. They end up being homeless.
