We’re thrilled to announce that Ishtar House has officially moved into a brand-new, purpose-built home—thanks to the generous support of BC Housing. This new space increases our capacity from 10 to 14 beds, allowing us to support more women and children in need of safe, supportive shelter.
The new home features improved amenities designed with comfort, safety, and healing in mind. Before welcoming clients into the space this month (June, 2025), staff from across Ishtar programs gathered for a special housewarming and ribbon-cutting celebration.
This event was more than just a tour—it was a chance for colleagues to reconnect, forge new connections, and reflect on the collective impact of our work. Seeing the house filled with warmth, laughter, and shared purpose was a beautiful reminder of the community that makes Ishtar House what it is.
We’re excited for the next chapter in this new space—and the lives it will help transform.
