This season, our permanent and transitional housing sites welcomed more neighbours into stable homes, including a new site that opened its doors in Saint John.

Our recovery team met people with support exactly when and where it was needed. No one who asked for help this month was turned away.

And through Neighbourly Ventures, more community members stepped into employment and entrepreneurship than ever before, some graduating into full-time roles, others building something entirely their own. These paths are open to anyone ready to try, not just those living within our programs.

Because of you, people are given the space to try, to grow, and to belong ❤️

Last Thursday, we hosted our very first Neighbourly Ventures Advancement Ceremony, a celebration of growth, perseverance, opportunity, and achievement. ✨

We recognized participants who completed the Discovery Program, along with two individuals who completed the Employment Program and secured full-time employment on their Path to Independence.

Together with residents, staff, donors, friends, and supporters, we shared an evening filled with meaningful stories, laughter, certificates, and special awards.

Most importantly, we celebrated what happens when people are given opportunity, purpose, and a place to belong. 💙🏅
