Chez Doris, an organisation that supports vulnerable and homeless women has partnered up with Fulford Residence for the acquisition of the Fulford House to keep the building’s purpose as a centre for social support and care.

This partnership is an initiative with the goal of bringing hope to women of all ages. Once the house undergoes renovations, the centre will be able to welcome 100 women. The home will also have 20 transition rooms and will be offering all social services provided by Chez Doris.

Carole Croteau, Chair of the Board of Chez Doris shared in the press release that “This acquisition marks the beginning of a significant journey, not only for us but for the community at large. (...) With this purchase, vulnerable women gain access to a space already renowned for its history of warmth and support, that will now be tailored to their needs.”

Established back in 1859, the residence housed charitable organisations serving women for 130 years, until the pandemic.
