Ingamo Homes

Since 1989, Ingamo Homes has stood as a beacon of hope in Woodstock, Ontario, offering compassionate, second-stage transitional housing for women-identifying individuals and their children who have experienced gender-based violence.

Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood, our community comprises of 22 townhouse units designed to provide a safe and supportive environment where families have the space and access to resources they need to heal, rebuild, and envision a future free from violence.

Our comprehensive programs and services are tailored to empower residents on their journey toward independence. Through on-site support, programs and life skills development, we prepare women and their children to transition confidently into permanent, sustainable housing within the community.

At Ingamo Homes, we believe in the strength and resilience of every individual. Our mission is to foster an environment where healing is possible, empowerment is encouraged, and new beginnings are embraced.
