How to apply
Becoming a resident
Harmony House is a second-stage shelter, which means that residents are referred to us from first-stage shelters as well as from various social service agencies. Applications may be obtained from them. You can also fill out a Harmony House Client Application Form and fax it to our Women’s Advocate at 613-567-1707 or email [email protected].
Residents of Harmony House live in individual apartments at rent-geared-to-income. Women can live with their children onsite for up to a year and access our support programs and services.
