The data comes from the Survey of Residential Facilities for Victims of Abuse (SRFVA). he objective of the Survey of Residential Facilities for Victims of Abuse (SRFVA) is to collect data that can be used to produce statistics on facilities in Canada primarily mandated to provide residential services to victims of abuse (defined as on-going victimization). In aggregated form, the collected data provide an indication of the number and types of residential services and admissions over time, as well as the characteristics of clients being served on a specific survey reference day, or "one day snapshot". This will provide valuable information that is useful for various levels of government, sheltering and other non-profit organizations, service providers, and researchers to assist in developing research, policy and programs, as well as identifying funding needs for residential facilities for victims of abuse. This information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes. The SRFVA is a redesign of the original Transition Home Survey (THS). The SRFVA differs from the THS in terms of survey frame, content, collection, processing, and analysis. In particular, the scope of the SRFVA was enlarged beyond facilities serving abused women and their children. Due to these changes, data collected for the SRFVA are not comparable with historical THS data. Statistics Canada will make information available through a data release in The Daily, as well as through additional products available to the public, including an analytical report and statistical tables.
