Regina Transition House

What Regina Transition House does

Regina Transition House is a Regina, Saskatchewan-based non-profit women’s shelter founded in 1976 that provides emergency housing, 24/7 crisis-line support, second-stage transitional housing, and community-based outreach to women and children fleeing domestic violence. The organization operates the Bridges of Hope Outreach Program to extend services beyond its residential facility and is approaching its 50th anniversary in 2026. It has expanded the scope of its programming to include pet-friendly shelter spaces, cultural programming, and LGBTQ2S+ inclusive services, broadening the population it can serve within the Regina catchment area.

Core service infrastructure comprises staffed residential capacity, a continuously operated crisis telephone line, case-management workflows, and outreach programming; the underlying technology layer is administrative rather than product-centric, centered on donor management and standard non-profit back-office systems. The organization is supported by approximately 18 staff and a volunteer board, with the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan serving as Honorary Patron.

As a registered charity, the business model is grant- and donation-funded rather than revenue-generating. Funding sources include provincial and federal government grants, individual donations, and corporate partnerships—most notably the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation—supplemented by signature fundraising events such as the Eat & Empower Luncheon and 50/50 lottery. End users (women and children in crisis) receive services free of charge at the point of delivery; no fees, contracts, or subscription pricing exist.
