Since 1980, the Community House has been a home for over 2,700 young people, primarily between the age of 16 and 23 years and now a few hundred pass through each year. It provides a positive community living experience where a young person can grow and develop. The program assists in the development of a life plan with short and long term goals and promotes the development of interpersonal skills. The length of stay varies based on need, averaging 12 to 18 months. Each person is treated individually with professionalism and the sensitivity necessary to effectively deal with youth in crisis. The young people who live in the Community House work full-time or attend school. Our primary objective, where possible, is to support family reconciliation to help the young people develop the skills for independent living. Our secondary objectives include : on-going education (higher education), recreation, spiritual guidance, wholesome entertainment, coordinated physical activities and more than all, to foster and encourage holistic growth and the development of one's full potential. a program of support designed to help the young people develop the skills for productive independent living.
