Sacred Cradle House

Sacred Cradle House

The ACEH’s proposed 6-month pilot program, XEXE PAHLATSIS LELUM (Sacred Cradle House) supports Indigenous mothers and birthers experiencing housing precarity and substance use when discharged from hospital, by providing a culturally supportive transitional home where life together with their newborn can begin. Mothers and birthers stay at the program until stable, affordable housing for their family is secured. To provide the highest level of physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental care, Her Way Home (HWH) has partnered to extend its complimentary services.

With gratitude the ACEHS acknowledges the Lekwungen (Esquimalt and Songhees), Malahat, Pacheedaht, Scia’new, T’Sou-ke and W̱SÁNEĆ (Pauquachin, Tsartlip, Tsawout, Tseycum) peoples on whose ancestral homelands and unceded territories we gather, live, and work.
