Azure Place - Delta Transition House

The Delta transition house for women and children fleeing violence opened on August 28, 2017. Azure Place is located in Delta in an unidentified location and provides a safe home environment for women and their families who need a short-term place to stay during a time of crisis in their life. It is funded by BC Housing and operated by W.I.N.G.S. (Women in Need Gaining Strength), a non-profit organization serving women throughout Metro Vancouver.

Women staying at the shelter receive services offered by WINGS, housing staff, Deltassist, police, victims services and other social service agencies. They are assessed and offered treatment or counselling as needed. Families receive support in finding new housing if necessary and may be offered “second stage housing” (6 months – 1 year) as part of the process.
The Azure Place phone number (604-957-1556) is also a crisis line where women can receive support and information. Women do not need to decide to leave their situation and come to Azure Place in order to receive services and supports. Staff can help women develop safety plans and identify referrals over the phone.
Women can call the shelter directly or be referred by anyone in the community. During a time of crisis, often police, friends, or social workers may bring women and their children to a safe place to meet with staff who then bring them to the transition house.
