Health, policy, research, and community partners across Canada - we need your input!

The housing crisis is making recovery harder, especially for people transitioning from treatment to stable housing. When safe, community-based recovery housing isn’t available, healing stalls and inequities grow.

Porchlight Counselling & Addiction Services is responding through Building for Recovery, supported by the CMHC National Housing Strategy Solution Lab.

Together, we’re co‑designing a village‑style recovery housing model on 10 rural acres in Cambridge, Ontario—rooted in dignity, belonging, housing‑first principles, and connection to land and community.

Join our National Building for Recovery Solutions Lab Webinar on February 12th from 10am-11am EST to help shape this model. We’ll share emerging prototypes and invite your feedback to finalize them.

This is an open invitation, so please share widely. Meeting link is in the comments.
