Like other community centers Central Neighbourhood House delivers programs for youth, new Canadians, low-income families, women and seniors. What is unique about us is that we do not simply provide services. We promote the old school notion of the ‘involved neighbour’. We connect and respectfully engage all of our neighbours across class, culture and generations.

Founded in 1911, Central Neighbourhood House is the second largest settlement house in Toronto. 200 volunteers contribute over 20,000 hours to our organization. Located in downtown east, CNH engages 10,000 individuals (in over 10 languages – including American Sign Language) from Regent Park, St. James Town, Moss Park Cabbagetown and other local neighbourhoods. We facilitate over 50,000 community-based experiences per year. As one of the first United Way funded agencies, CNH is recognized for its role in creating connected, safe and thriving neighbourhoods.
