Central Neighbourhood House

Central Neighbourhood House

Central Neighbourhood House (CNH), founded in 1911, is located in the Regent Park area of Toronto at 349 Ontario Street. Originally founded as a settlement house for new immigrants, today it provides a broad range of vital services to young people, seniors, new Canadians and all members of the downtown east community. CNH provides spaces, services and opportunities that engage all community members in enhancing their quality of life and in building healthy, inclusive neighbourhoods.

Central Neighbourhood House serves a catchment area which includes the neighbourhoods of Regent Park, Moss Park and St. Jamestown. These neighbourhoods are among the lowest income but also most culturally diverse in Toronto, and are the first place of residence for thousands of new Canadians each year.

Programs and Services

CNH provides a range of services grouped under Daycare, Children and Youth Services, Women's Program, Family Support, Street Survivors, Housing & Community Support, and the Adult Day Program.

CNH employs approximately 120 full and part-time employees, and many more volunteers.

CNH is supported by the United Way, City of Toronto, Ministry of Community and Social Services, and numerous foundations and individual donors.

CNH is a member of Toronto Neighbourhood Centres, an association of seven multi-service, non-profit neighbourhood centres.
