About this organization

Located in Lakeside, Adsum Centre provides communal living space, support and programming to 16 residents and their children. Staff is available 24/7 to provide support and lead programs. The focus is on addressing barriers that have led to residents experiences of homelessness.

Adsum Centre offers a half-day core program that runs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. Additionally, there are evening programs that residents identify as being needed. These programs focus on life management skills like nutrition, exercise, advocacy, education and employability. Specific examples include parenting, yoga, art classes, literacy, and computer skills. Group and individual supportive counselling is available and residents are, where possible, connected to existing community resources.

Adsum Centre has four four-bedroom units, each with a kitchen, living room, bathroom, laundry and deck.
