LES MAISONS DE L’ANCRE OFFERS SERVICES TO WOMEN IN DIFFICULTY 365 DAYS A YEAR, 24/7.

Helping women, trans and non-binary people carry out their life project on a daily basis over several months or even years creates a true relationship of trust and becomes an anchor point for many.

Different services and types of accommodation are offered, depending on each person’s realities and needs.

At l’Ancre, we work with people in difficulty, not with people who have a problem, a label or a diagnosis. People are so complex and each person is unique. That is why we adapt our interventions to each person we help.

MEDIUM-TERM HOUSING

Medium-term housing helps someone get out of a crisis situation, and, from a social integration perspective, go through a transition period during which they need one-on-one follow-up and support services.

The medium-term housing is made up of 9 rooms in a group home for a stay of 6 months to 2 years, and two shared rooms in a transitional apartment for two people wishing to prolong their stay by a year.

  • 24/7 supervision
  • From 6 months to a maximum of 2 years
