Laura House is a community based residential program that provides alternative housing for persons with mental illness. At the time of its founding, Laura House was created as a home to assist individuals with mental health concerns to live in the community, much the same as an approved home. Presently we have evolved into a transitional supported housing setting that focuses on enabling individuals to live in the community independently.
The Laura House services population will consist of the following group:
- Persons with a primary diagnosis of severe or persistent mental illness
- Between the ages of 18 -64
- Persons experiencing social and/or emotional problems
Program Goals:
- To improve the abilities of persons with mental health concerns to live more independently within a community setting
- Provide a positive and stable environment for those persons either in transition or housing crisis
- To promote the best possible care, treatment and rehabilitation of the mentally ill and to advocate on behalf of mental health clients within the community.
Laura House applications are completed by a case manager through the Strata PathWays portal.
