North House offers rent subsidies in coordination with counselling support services to individuals and families with children who live in Scugog, Uxbridge and Brock Townships.

Support services are provided by the Faith communities and local fundraising groups, we also have ongoing fundraising efforts with our Ornaments, cookbooks, and Church soup lunches.

The fundraising committee of North House Transitional Housing came up with the idea of a cookbook as a fundraiser following the success of the “Garden of Eatin” Community Garden and the enjoyment and pleasure that clients and local residents were having in producing their food. Some of the food was given to the local food bank to enhance the diets of its users and provide variety in their menus.

North House staff and volunteers feel that developing a cookbook and a community garden are one way of helping those who are at the brink of homelessness. In breaking the cycle of homelessness, these activities assist in developing self-esteem, stretching the family income, and providing a healthy diet that all of us need.
