cross British Columbia, many people motivated to change their lives leave treatment or corrections without the long-term support needed to rebuild independent lives. The Nanoose Bay TCF offers a fundamentally different pathway: a two-year, peer-led residential community where residents live, work, and grow together in a structured, values-based environment. On this 47-acre farm, recovery is treated as a social process rather than a purely clinical one. By integrating time, structure, and meaningful responsibility, residents gain the confidence and practical skills required to achieve lasting independence.

Streetohome is providing the critical operational seed funding and start-up capital required to launch the program and its social enterprises. Aiming for full operations by the 2026 growing season, the TCF will provide residents with hands-on vocational experience from day one, fostering a sense of purpose that translates directly to the workforce.

Pillars of Recovery

• Community as Method: Residents experience a healthy, pro-social "family" environment where caring for land, animals, and one another restores dignity and self-worth.
• Peer Leadership: Residents progress through increasing levels of responsibility, with senior residents mentoring newcomers to build a culture of mutual accountability.
• Meaningful Work: Daily responsibility in social enterprises – including sustainable agriculture, culinary arts, and property maintenance – builds real-world skills and pride in contribution.
• Structure & Life Skills: Clear routines and practical training in financial literacy and healthy habits create the predictability essential for long-term stability.

"TCF is more than treatment, housing, or agriculture – it is a community where work, wellness, and time converge to create lasting change."
