Common Spaces believes that recovery from addiction is possible for every young person. Our goal is to provide secure, safe and substance free housing, and to foster community that supports recovery for young people age 18-29

Common Spaces provides one-bedroom apartments for young people in recovery and two-bedroom apartments for young moms in recovery, with up to two children. Located in Brandon’s core, Common Spaces is close to local support agencies, stores, and public transit. Living independently, Common Spaces participants will work with program staff weekly to build their recovery support system. This support system can be made up of recovery and community peer-support groups, as well as addiction and mental health professionals that can provide connections to maintain a lifelong recovery journey.

Applicants will need to be between age 18-29 and be maintaining sobriety through a recognized treatment program or have a community professional verify their sobriety, up to three months. Common Spaces has an adjusted low barrier rent amount. Applicants will need to provide proof of sufficient monthly income from Employment Income Assistance or other means, to meet monthly program rent requirement.
