Julliette's Place is a not-for-profit agency, established in 1990 as Homeward Family Shelter. It is the first known facility of its kind in Toronto designed specifically as a shelter for abused women and their children.

Originally, the shelter provided temporary shelter and support services to both abused women with children and homeless families in North East Scarborough. To date, Julliette's Place is the only known Ministry funded shelter for abused women and children in the greater GTA that accepts MALE children over the age of 12 years.

The 35-bed facility is one of the largest single shelter in operation to date. In addition, Julliette's Place (H.F.S) has maintained excellence in service delivery to current and ex-clients, while providing extensive community outreach to help individuals and families better identify and address issues of domestic violence and other forms of oppression.
