What is a neighbourhood house?

Neighbourhood houses play a distinct role in the community they serve. They take a grassroots approach to service delivery which allows them to access the strengths and skills of participants and work together to address the needs and goals of the community. Neighbourhood  houses value the empowerment, safety, collaboration, respect and inclusiveness of all people. Another important feature of Neighbourhood houses is that they partner with local community organizations to create mutually beneficial events and share resources.
