We believe it is important to correctly evaluate the needs of women who call us for housing accommodation, as they must be oriented towards the appropriate resource. Thus, we have identified appropriate selection criteria for our service offering.

We are therefore asking these women who wish to use our services to commit themselves to concrete steps that will facilitate their social rehabilitation, as reinsertion is the objective we pursue. When a woman decides to come to Maison Le Paravent, she must get involved in the household chores by cooking one dinner per week, by contributing to housework, by participating in receiving food supplies, organized activities, and house meetings. 

When we consider that our service offering does not suit the woman’s needs, we do not hesitate to orient her towards other resources that will better correspond to her needs. That is why it is of utmost importance that we work in partnership with other regional resources in order to maximize the overall service offering.
