LakeCity Works supports people living with mental illness to build on their strengths, take on responsibilities and access work experience, education and employment.
The Tiny Home Lottery is an innovative way to raise funds for our operations, client services and programs. Our goal is to continue to advocate and raise awareness around the lack of affordable housing for persons with mental illness. In Nova Scotia, 53% of those struggling to secure permanent affordable housing are living with mental health challenges. Affordable, accessible and supportive housing reduces hospital stays, psychiatric symptoms, substance abuse and increases freedom, dignity, wellness and overall quality of life.
Thank you for your support, and helping to foster local engagement in support of the mental health community in Nova Scotia!
