POINT EDWARD, N.S. — The operators of Hope House say residents, staff and animals are safe after a fire broke out Friday afternoon.
The live-in addictions recovery home provides live-in addictions recovery for women.
As part of the project, clients are offered substance-free and skills-based programs running three to 12 months, depending on client needs.
Hope House board member Frances Burton said accommodations are being made for all residents.
She said the home suffered significant damage, with the cause of the fire undetermined at this time.
The charitable organization established by concerned community members first opened its doors to clients in January 2018.
As part of its hands-on approach, clients help care for farm animals including goats.
The vision of the project’s founders is to empower women to experience freedom from addiction and to restore a sense of dignity and self-worth.
Burton said community members interested in helping out residents at this time of need are advised to email Hope House at volunteer@cbhopeproject.ca.
