North House

North House provides housing with WrapAround support for the homeless and those in danger of homelessness in Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge Townships. People become homeless when they can't pay their rent due to all kinds of different reasons- work place injury, abandonment, job loss, mental or physical illness. No one chooses to be homeless. And anyon... e can become homeless very quickly. The people North House serves are our friends and family members, our neighbours and their children. They remain hidden from public view because no one likes to admit they are too poor to care for themselves and their families. North House provides support so that people can identify their goals and reach them. Through our Financial Literacy Program, people can have their incomes taxes calculated and submitted which will allow them access to other support programs. We can help them get and maintain their housing so that they have an address and can apply for a job, get a bank account, access the food bank regularly. Without an address no one can function in our society. Most importantly, having stable housing improves health and educational outcomes for children and youth and ensures that our elders are safe and cared for. Your contribution to North House will make it possible for members of our communities move from surviving to thriving and participating in community life. Please be our Valentine this year!
