Supportive Housing - Hearthstone Place

Low-barrier housing that supports those who have been homeless or are at risk of homelessness

Supportive Housing – Hearthstone Place

Opening its doors on March 1st, 2017, Hearthstone Place is a low-barrier housing initiative that supports 20 men and 10 women who have been homeless or are at risk of homelessness.

Hearthstone operates under the Housing First model, which empirically demonstrates that people are more able to work towards personal stability and wellness if they have a home.

Unlike a temporary emergency shelter bed, this program provides individual, self-contained suites for an optimal period of between 18 to 24 months. The focus for our residents during this time period is on addressing personal barriers, which may include addiction and/or mental health.

The ultimate goal of Hearthstone Place is empowering our residents towards living as independently and successfully as possible.

Hearthstone Place is operated by Archway Community Services in collaboration with our partners — BC Housing and the City of Abbotsford.

To best meet the unique and dynamic needs of our residents, we provide basic in-house support 24/7 as well as referrals, advocacy, and connection to a wide range of community partners.

    Eligibility Criteria

    • 19 years and older
