Community Living in Public Housing

Community activities are developed and administered in conjunction with community and institutional workers.

Such activities are often open to the general public and not exclusively reserved OMHM residents. Such events take many forms, including young people's activities, mutual assistance and support projects, and efforts to foster social inclusion. They also include recreational activities, community kitchens,  assistance and family services.
