Shelter Pulse

February 1, 2024

The Shelter Pulse Policy Database represents a collaborative effort by the Rural Development Network team, Mountain Rose Women’s Shelter Association, Taproot Strategies, and rural shelter partners throughout Canada. It offers a comprehensive collection of policies in a searchable format. This platform enables women’s shelters across Canada to locate, download, edit, and compile specific policies into a complete manual directly on the website.
