b'Resiliency in the Face of a Crisis Within a CrisisThe fiscal year 2020-2021 was a testament to Womens Habitats (WHE) resilience and the commitment of the Outreach team. In spite of very limited resources at the onset of the pandemic, the team set out to do everything possible to adapt to the reality imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic and to attend to the needs of our clients confined at home as a result of the restrictions and public health guidelines.Impact On Clients As the rates of domestic violence increased around the world and right here at home in Canada, so did the need for creativity to stay connected and support safety planning. Clients had no access to in-person supports. They had no privacy to speak with Outreach Staff because they had to quarantine with abusive intimate partners or family members. One of my clients had to hide in her laundry room to speak with me,and often had to abruptly disconnect the phone when her husband approached. - Chaste Perseverance, Outreach Trauma Counsellor - Many clients lost their jobs due to the pandemic and struggled to make ends meet as this pandemic increased their vulnerability.The loss of income put the clients at risk or homelessness as many of them were no longer able to afford rent. - Mahbooba Hashimi -'
