Metro Community Housing Association

Metro Community Housing Association 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.

🏃‍♂️Movement looks different for everyone. 🕺
For some, it’s running a marathon.
For others, it’s a short walk or stretching in your living room.
All of it counts and all of it can support your mental health 🫶

Mental health struggles are not always visible. Someone can be smiling, making plans, showing up for others, and still be carrying something heavy inside. 💛

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re reminding our community that compassion matters for others and for ourselves. Checking in, listening without judgment, and creating spaces where people feel safe to be honest can make a real difference.

You never fully know what someone is navigating behind the scenes. A little kindness goes a long way. 🌼
