The Emergency Loan Fund
The Emergency Loan Fund for Women Fleeing Domestic Violence
Amongst the many barriers faced by a woman in removing herself from a violent situation, economics plays a prominent role. Worries of financial obligations and costs of living cause many women to remain in abusive relationships. The BC/Yukon Society of Transition Houses (BCYSTH) has created a Loan Fund to be administered provincially to benefit all Transition Houses across British Columbia and Yukon in assisting women with a forgivable loan. Based on data from other sources, such a fund would be repaid by most women when they are financially able to do so. The goal of this fund is to enable all women an equal opportunity for a fresh and healthy start to a new life.
