Tenants also complain women living in the shelters often have to bathe in the communal showers with transsexuals.

It's a situation the women say makes them highly uncomfortable and has led to conflict.

"(A transsexual) threatened one of the women from the 4th floor and when she went and complained to staff, they said she had to be patient with him because he's going through a sex change," a tenant said.

"This person was massaging this Muslim woman's back and then when she found out this person was a man, she was upset. There is no disclosure."
