Second Stage Housing

affordable housing

Cara Transition House operates six Second Stage Housing units in the Town of Gander. These homes are a safe environment for women with or without children who are leaving our transition house or another transition house in the province.

Second Stage Housing units are independent, single family homes. Utilities are included, as are laundry facilities. Some units are fully furnished. Monthly rent is affordable (within the affordable housing guidelines published by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation for our areas). Rental agreements are available up to eighteen months in length.
