Community Partnerships

Since opening our doors we have been committed to developing strong partnerships with other community agencies in Saint John. Our value oriented philosophy allows us to focus on doing what we do best, providing housing, while the agencies that we partner with provide services and supports to residents.

Organized Departure

In partnership with the Province of New Brunswick, our Organized Departure Program allows us to rapidly rehouse people who have experienced homelessness or are at risk of becoming homeless.

Housing First Saint John

Our Housing First program is designed to support the goals of the National Housing Strategy, Reaching Home. We embrace a recovery oriented approach to ending homelessness, which focuses on quickly moving people experiencing homelessness into independent and permanent housing and then providing additional support and services as needed.
