AKA “the Women’s Shelter on Gottingen” or “Barry”
Barry House is a shelter for women and their children who are experiencing homelessness. We offer support services from a client centred approach. Women are welcome to bring their domestic pets.
GETTING A BED
If a woman is experiencing homelessness, and do not have the means to secure housing elsewhere, Barry House may call at any time – 902.422.8324 – to determine if there is a bed available. If there are no beds available at that time, you are encouraged to call or arrive at Barry House (2706 Gottingen Street) at 6pm and/or midnight any day of the week, because these are the times that beds are re-assigned each day.
Clients who are registered at the shelter are required to re-register each day between 4pm-6pm, and must be in the building between midnight and 6am to guarantee their bed. There are some exceptions to this rule.
