Metro Community Housing Association MCHA provides supportive homes and community to individuals living with mental wellness challenges

Metro Community Housing Association is a non-profit, community based organization that provides support to persons living with pervasive and chronic mental illness. Established in 1974, we pride ourselves on the individualized approach in providing supportive homes and community, with 15 homes and over 60 supported apartment settings. Our referral process and thorough assessment result in the best possible match of person and community support option. Our staff take a collaborative multidisciplinary approach working as part of a support team to provide high quality service to those in our care. At present the majority of our supported individuals are funded through public financial assistance programs, such as those operated by the Nova Scotia Department of Community Services, Disability Support Program. However we are very open to receiving referrals and inquiries from self referring individuals, family and health care / support professionals. If you are interested in learning more about our services please Contact Us, we'd love to hear from you.

๐ŸŽ„ 12 Days of Gratitude | Day 4 ๐ŸŽ„

Today weโ€™re grateful for moments that build confidence, connection, and community. Our trip to the Five Islands Retreat was especially meaningful, as for some of our participants it was the very first time experiencing an overnight trip away from home.
From swinging by the water and clam digging to cooking together, sharing meals, and laughing side by side, every moment was about togetherness. Time spent in nature offers space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect, while shared experiences help strengthen bonds and create a true sense of belonging.
This retreat was a powerful reminder of how inclusion, community, and access to meaningful experiences play an essential role in supporting mental health. Weโ€™re so grateful for the memories made, the connections strengthened, and the joy shared along the way ๐Ÿ’›

Today weโ€™re looking back with gratitude at one of our sweetest summer moments, the Teddy Bear Picnic. This joyful day brought participants, families, and staff together for connection, laughter, and a little childhood magic.
Teddy bears are more than just toys they are symbols of comfort, safety, and emotional support. For many, they represent a trusted companion during difficult moments, a reminder that youโ€™re not alone, and a source of calm in times of stress. These small comforts can play a powerful role in supporting mental health and emotional well-being at any age.
Weโ€™re grateful for moments like these that create space for play, healing, and meaningful connection. Thank you to everyone who helped make this day so special ๐Ÿงธ
