Ambrose Place uses a housing first approach to provide housing and support services within a culturally sensitive environment to homeless individuals and couples who have not been successfully housed in existing facilities.

Our 42-unit supportive living home offers residents safety, dignity and stability. The community facilities located on the first floor are available for use by all residents.

In 2006, prior to developing the operating framework for Ambrose Place, NiGiNan undertook extensive research on supportive/assisted living projects for its target market.

Ambrose Place is operated using a set of practical strategies that help people reduce the negative consequences of drug use, alcoholism and mental illness by:

meeting people where they are at
focusing on improving the quality of the individual’s life, health and well-being
educating the person on options and consequences, thus enabling the individual to improve their quality of life, health and well-being
working with residents in a non-judgemental and gradual fashion

This approach has been very successful in enabling people, who have not been appropriately served by traditional facilities, to significantly improve their circumstances.
