Carrier Sekani Family Services (CSFS), in partnership with Lake Babine Nation (LBN), is undertaking a project to build and operate a Safe House for women and children who need protection from family violence. The Safe House will be located in the very vulnerable setting along the Highway of Tears (Highway 16) in Burns Lake, British Columbia. The facility will provide shelter to women who need a safe environment and protection from family violence and related risk exposure. The Safe House will comprise seven (7) units that will house up to twenty-three (23) occupants, subject to regulations and funding. The Safe House site location will be on Lake Babine Nation's Woyenne Indian Reserve (IR) in the centre of Burns Lake along Highway 16.

CSFS and LBN have been working on the preplanning for over three years with assistance from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and Indigenous Services Canada.
