What is Journey House?
Journey House is a Canadian Registered Charity (charity no. 77320 6693 RR0001) that specifically focuses on support for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities by promoting independent living skills and relationship building. Homes are provided for these individuals at a low cost with little to no waiting list. In addition to the basic functions of a home, Journey House relies heavily on a Relational Model of living to provide an environment which supports participation in holistic, inclusive, and interactive creative daily living. This allows for a person-centred approach to foster independence, encourage experience, and create value through authentic connections with other residents and the community. While also encouraging an overall sense of belonging through integrated community living, these individuals live and learn together.
