House Society, Little Mountain Neighbourhood

Vancouver, Canada

In 1978, Little Mountain Neighbourhood House opened its doors in a local storefront. A group of committed volunteers and three staff members began the challenging task of identifying and responding to a spectrum of local, regional and national issues as they were then experienced by the residents of that neighbourhood. Like all neighbourhood houses, they were then and still are a grass roots volunteer –driven organization. The programs and initiatives that have emerged from their work in the community have, in some cases gone on to become established, recognized programs adopted by governments, and other organizations.

On occasion their solutions have been adopted to serve as models for other providers, and other constituencies far beyond our neighbourhood. In some cases, Little Mountain Neighbourhood House has created vital programming such as the Special Services to Children and Families, and Settlement and Adaptation Programs are in line with the strategic direction of the Provincial Government and the City.
