What is Support House?

Support House is a not-for-profit agency that takes a values-driven approach to provide our community with: Person-directed supports that put people first. Connection and engagement through conversation so we can be reflexive and responsive. A culture that inspires health and wellness. Support Coordination: We provide a menu of supports that responds to the needs of youth aged 16-24 and adults who experience mental and/or substance use issues in Halton. We offer support coordination, housing, peer support, harm reduction, navigation, and distress/crisis support. Housing: We offer a full range of supportive housing options for those with mental health and/or substance use issues – from highly-intensive, staff-supported residences to community supports through rent subsidies with private landlords. The staff team supports multiple needs and works to strengthen essential life skills. Staff also assist in connecting with additional supports in the community such as interdisciplinary health teams. We support individuals to transition to more independent housing. Peer Support: The Centre for Innovation in Peer Support provides community and system capacity through offering accessible peer services and enhancing peer service capacity through training and mentorship for peers. We facilitate, coordinate and meet multiple needs with agency and system partners.
