Past Community Partnerships - NL
Marguerite’s Place Supportive Housing assists women’s move toward living in community. The facility was opened in 2012 and named in memory of the late Marguerite Dyson, a mother of eight from Cartwright who volunteered at the St. John’s Women’s Centre.
They follow a trauma-informed, holistic approach and on-site staff offer support around-the-clock. Residents have opportunities to develop tools and knowledge on healthy relationships, life skills, and community connections to navigate challenges and crises. Marguerite’s Place is designed to meet the needs of single women and non-binary people over the age of 30, without dependents in their care, living on low income, and facing barriers to stable housing. They assist women who want additional support to maintain housing and utilize a harm reduction approach, meaning applicants do not have to be sober to apply or be accepted. Marguerite’s Place is a trans inclusive space, for transgender women and non-binary people.
Fry Family Foundation made a financial contribution to the capital campaign for the building, which was put towards the main kitchen and clothes boutique. We are proud to have provided support to this organization which provides supportive housing in St. John's, NL. Learn more about Marguerite's Place.
