MCHA provides supportive homes and community to individuals living with mental wellness challenges

Metro Community Housing Association is a non-profit, community based organization that provides support to persons living with pervasive and chronic mental illness. Established in 1974, we pride ourselves on the individualized approach in providing supportive homes and community, with 15 homes and over 60 supported apartment settings. Our referral process and thorough assessment result in the best possible match of person and community support option. Our staff take a collaborative multidisciplinary approach working as part of a support team to provide high quality service to those in our care. At present the majority of our supported individuals are funded through public financial assistance programs, such as those operated by the Nova Scotia Department of Community Services, Disability Support Program. However we are very open to receiving referrals and inquiries from self referring individuals, family and health care / support professionals. If you are interested in learning more about our services please Contact Us, we'd love to hear from you.

Mental health is health.

🌷🌱 Hello, Spring! 🌱🌷
Today we welcome the first day of spring. A season of fresh starts, gentle change, and new growth. As the world around us begins to bloom, this time of year reminds us that growth doesn’t have to be rushed. It can be steady, intentional, and rooted in care.

Spring is a beautiful opportunity to check in with ourselves. What habits are helping us grow? What can we let go of? Healthy change starts with small, meaningful steps getting outside for fresh air, reconnecting with supports, setting boundaries, or simply giving yourself grace.

At MCHA, we believe growth looks different for everyone and every step forward matters. 🌼
Here’s to a season of renewal, resilience, and prioritizing mental wellness.
