Welcome to Dignity House Inc.

Dignity House is more than a home – it is a ministry that includes housing, a ministry centre and a place to volunteer and/or serve community hours or fine options. All of this is specifically designed for women who desire to leave the life of prostitution and want to be mentored and cared for in a supportive and loving manner. It provides these women with a place to heal, learn basic life skills, and to experience the love of God in a real and tangible way.

Dignity House Ministry represents hope and a future for women who are bravely seeking a different and better life.

Welcome to Dignity House Inc.

One of the biggest challenges that women wanting to leave the sex-trade encounter is not having a stable home environment. Another huge hurdle is dealing with past trauma. Consistency is key to building a new way of life. Dignity House is a second-stage home where the women will be supported, mentored and cared for by staff and volunteers under the supervision of Shona Stewart, who is passionate to see their lives transformed.

It is the mission of Dignity House to see women transition from the life of exploitation to a life of recovery and promise and to give them a place to call home.

As part of that mission, Dignity House Inc., assists women to transition to a life God has planned for them, to provide support, safety and community, to address barriers for change, to aid them in identifying and applying skills, strategies and solutions. In order to do this we incorporate different approaches in healing the emotional, spiritual, physical, and mental areas of need. Also addressing some systematic, social, colonialist and paternalistic issues for the women to help them find hope, faith, love and dignity.

Dignity House Inc. supports and aids women by offering a residential setting and an off-site center where recovery can happen. One home is a second stage home, which means women have gone through addiction treatment first if needed or are ready to begin programming and the other is transitional housing a home where when they have completed the five stages of change and need support and accountability while re uniting with their families they can live in it for approximately 2-3 years.

Why it Matters

Affirmation from a Supporter and Workshop Facilitator

“I’ve known you for almost a year and a half, and have respected you and the work you do with the women of Dignity House. During that time, I’ve met a couple of the women, and you and I have talked about the work you do. Recently, I began to work with them in group, to hear them talk about many things, and to see you and them interacting together.
