We’re proud to announce that Alice House has officially joined the Transition House Association of Nova Scotia (THANS), deepening our connection to a province-wide network of support for survivors of intimate partner violence.
THANS is a province-wide, member-led association committed to ending intimate partner and gender-based violence and supporting survivors through access to safe, empowering shelter and services. As a new member, Alice House joins a network of frontline organizations working together to create safer, healthier communities across Nova Scotia.
For 42 years, Alice House has provided second-stage housing and wraparound supports for women and children fleeing violence. Our second stage model offers up to two years of affordable, confidential housing, along with counselling and survivor-centered wrap around support programs that foster healing, build independence, and support long-term safety beyond crisis.
Joining THANS strengthens our collective voice and deepens our connection to a community of shelters and transition houses working in solidarity toward a violence-free future for Nova Scotians.
“This is a pivotal moment that bridges Alice House’s 42-year legacy with a renewed commitment to sustaining and growing province-wide impact on intimate partner violence recovery and support. Becoming a member of THANS strengthens our capacity to advocate, share knowledge, and collaborate on solutions that best serve survivors of intimate partner violence.
We’re honoured to stand in solidarity with our peers—including Weliankweyasimk Women’s Shelter, also newly welcomed—in the shared and unwavering commitment to supporting, preventing and ending intimate partner violence in our province.” - Jill Trites, Executive Director of Alice House
