Women tell us that it's difficult for them, economically speaking.
When women come to the shelter, they often have to apply for social assistance. They receive an additional amount while they are at the shelter. We have to provide letters to confirm that these women are being housed with us.
When they leave the shelter to go to an apartment, they have no assistance. They have to find an apartment elsewhere and furnish it, among other things. Since they have no assistance, they often get help with furniture from community resources. The shelters and second-stage houses help them with food.
It would be a good idea to think about the financial assistance the government can provide for these women so they are able to start over.
