Program Delivery
Service delivery has drastically changed over the past three years at Sudbury House. The need to alter program delivery design at Sudbury House was attributed to needing to offer a relevant solution to the real pressures presenting at the Community House door. These pressures coincided with COVID, increased housing insecurity, family violence worsening and challenging economic times. These pressures increased the number of complex individuals requesting services from Sudbury House. These pressures also increased the number of first-time-service users seeking support from Sudbury House as they had nowhere else to go and they were now also impacted by the deepening economic crises.

Sudbury House launched Project Dignity to address rising financial and housing challenges, with support from volunteers, staff, and partner organizations. In 2024, the initiative evolved into Project Dignity To You, shifting focus to supplying essential food resources to community groups and agencies. This transformation increased support by 75%, reinforcing Sudbury House’s commitment to meeting the community’s changing needs.
