about

Our Mission

The Lazarus Community Society's mission is to provide supportive home environments to vulnerable adults in our society, to nuture relations, teach life skills and provide structure and community.

About THE LAZARUS COMMUNITY SOCIETY

The Lazarus Community Society is establishing small-scale community houses focused on specific needs arising within our community. We are creating a "live in" environment where one or two hosts share the home with residents. Such a setting provides structure, safety and emotional support while building a healthy lifestyle.

The Lazarus Community Society has established two houses:

On July 1, 2004 we opened the Daniel House, a community home for men recovering from alcohol or drug addiction. It offers support, while allowing the residents independence.

On November 1, 2006 we opened the Gilmore House, a house providing affordable, safe and supportive houseing for refugee claimants and low income immigrants.

The Lazarus Community Society does not have any paid staff. Core community members receive a reduction in their room and board and a small compensation. Other than these small costs, all the funds received go towards keeping room and board of the resident's low.
