What safety measures will be in place?

The County and Transition House both take security seriously. We will be working to mitigate any negative impacts to the community, and to keep people using the facility safe.

Transition House is committed to safety measures as a good neighbour, including:

  • 24/7 on-site staff
  • Installation of a security system
  • Assessment of lighting and fencing on the property
  • Engagement of professional security services on-site

It is important to remember: homelessness is a housing status - being homeless is not a crime nor does it mean people experiencing homelessness have or will commit crimes. Offering services to support people who are experiencing homelessness, people who are at risk of homelessness, or individuals who need help to live independently in the community does not mean crime will increase.

It is important not to discriminate against service users by assuming they are responsible for all issues in the community moving forward. If a service user is responsible, they will be held accountable for their actions, as any other member of the community would be held accountable.
