A women's activist group in Regina has been trying to get a transition housing shelter for women established. The director of this group says that although Regina does have some battered women's shelters, not all women who require temporary housing qualify. Other shelter resources are not directed to the needs of homeless women. However, despite her efforts to funding, her proposals have always been rejected because it wasn't believed that a shelter like the one proposed would help combat homelessness to a large degree.
