Help Us Build A Safer Community
Transitional Housing Capital Campaign
Building Safety and Support
Transitional housing plays a vital role in helping women and families move from crisis to stability. Through safe, supportive living environments like Clearwater Place, individuals are given the time, resources, and guidance needed to rebuild their lives.
These programs provide more than just housing. They offer continued support, connection to resources, and a foundation for long-term independence. Community involvement helps make these spaces possible and sustainable for those who need them most.
Learn more about how you can help us build transitional housing spaces for women and their children in south-central Manitoba.

General Guidelines for Third-Party Fundraising
Fundraisers benefiting Genesis must be in keeping with our mission. Genesis House reserves the right to decline any fundraising proposal that is not in line with our mission.
The third-party fundraiser is responsible for all vendor agreements, contracts, insurance, and necessary permits for the event. Genesis House will not assume any legal or financial liability for a third-party event. Genesis House, any of its Board Members, or staff reserve the right to cancel involvement in the event at any time. Genesis will incur no liability for any such cancellation.
Third-party fundraising events must be fully executed by the third-party fundraiser(s). Genesis House staff is available to provide fundraising recommendations and information during your planning process. However, due to limited staff resources, Genesis staff cannot plan or guarantee promotion of third-party fundraising events.

Third-party fundraising events must be financially self-sustaining without contribution or financial risk from Genesis House. All third-party fundraising event expenses are the responsibility of the third-party fundraiser and must be paid by the third-party fundraiser.
