Founded in 2002, Jake’s House is a Provincially and Federally funded Canadian charity with a mission to provide meaningful support to families living with autism across the country. Recognizing that more than any other single issue, families dealing with autism need a community, Jake’s House is committed to growing a strong network of people who understand and care - a family, determined to provide tangible solutions at every stage of life.

Specifically, Jake’s House supports individuals on the spectrum throughout their lifespans through four core initiatives: 1) Social Events & Awareness, a two-decade tradition of bringing families living with autism together for welcoming, fun and festive celebrations in Toronto, Ottawa and London – with cross country expansion planned.; 2) Legends Mentoring Program, themed group mentoring workshops that provide youth with opportunities to learn skills, socialize and make friends; 3) Employment Mentoring Program, a program that supports the integration of young adults into the workforce; and 4) Inclusive Housing Program, designed to address the growing housing gap in the autism community, giving more aging adults a place to call home.
