They are our daughters. Our mothers. Our sisters.
Our neighbours. They are in crisis.

More and more women are turning to The Mustard Seed in urgent need of help.

Almost 40%
of The Mustard Seed's clients are now women

Up to 50%
increase in women seeking emergency shelter*

Women experiencing homelessness face disproportionate challenges and very real dangers. 91% have been assaulted.


But homelessness among women is often unseen and underreported, leading to a critical lack of services and supports. The tragic result? Too many women are slipping through the cracks, trapped in a vicious cycle of homelessness, poverty, abuse, and trauma.

  • Only 13% of shelter spaces in Canada are dedicated to women.
  • Shelters turn away almost 1,000 women and children a day.

We can't let this cycle continue.
Please see and support women experiencing homelessness in our community today.
