40 Years of Hope
On June 9, 1983, the very first night we opened our doors, we welcomed a woman and her two children into Nova Vita.
Since that first night, our services have expanded far beyond just being a safe shelter for women experiencing abuse. Our programs and services have grown tremendously in response to the needs of our community and we now offer 33 emergency shelter beds, 8 transitional housing units, children’s programming, adult counselling, outreach support, public education and much more.
Over 25,000 individuals and families experiencing violence, abuse, and homelessness have accessed our services since we first opened our doors 40 years ago.
