Good to know
VERIFIED on the official Ingamo Homes site. Second-stage transitional housing in Woodstock serving Oxford County including Ingersoll. Main line 519-421-0383 (ext. 224 Executive Director, ext. 223 Programs & Outreach Manager, ext. 222 Maintenance/Donations - all confirmed on the contact page). CORRECTION: the official site says '20 townhouses' (the original draft's '21-unit' figure was not confirmed and has been described as 20 here). The original draft's second phone '519-421-0955' and the email could NOT be confirmed (the site obfuscates the email) - removed in favour of the verified main line and contact form; confirm email by phone. Access is often via DASO or a violence-counselling referral.
