Visit Our Website

Interval House of Hamilton opened its doors in 1986 as a non-profit shelter serving women, 16 years and older, with or without children who were fleeing relationship violence/abuse. We offer an array of counselling and legal advocacy services. Today, in addition, to the emergency shelter program, we now have three community-based programs that provide counselling, peer support, legal advocacy, and system navigation. We are committed to a gender intersectional and inclusive evidence-based analysis. We believe in including the voices and experiences of the women we serve, the community and our stakeholders in how we design, improve and deliver services and advocacy.

Our mission is violence free lives for all women, children and communities. Our vision is to be an innovative leader providing compassionate care and sustainable, highly-integrated services in our quest for violence free lives for women, children and communities.
