Reintegration Housing
Our homes provide a bridge between federal correctional facilities and the community.
Our Reintegration Housing Program
Canada is currently faced with a crisis of care in federal correctional facilities as more individuals in prison are aged 50 or older than ever before. Common health concerns in institutions include heart and lung issues, cancer, diabetes, dementia, mobility limitations and neurological disorders. In addition, many incarcerated people also suffer from mental health issues that may worsen overall health outcomes while incarcerated.
Most federal correction institutions and reintegration homes cannot meet the demands for medical care posed by the aging population.
​
Our Reintegration Housing Program addresses this significant gap in services by offering services that assist men with needs in the areas of mobility, activities of daily living or disease management while maintaining the safety and security of the community. Our goal, in partnership with Peterborough Parole Office, is to ensure that this population receives consistent and compassionate care in a safe, secure facility.
​
One City also advocates for compassionate transfer of incarcerated individuals approaching end of life to a more appropriate palliative care setting. ​​
Our Homes
Haley House and McDonnel house are halfway houses for individuals coming out of federal incarceration. Between both houses, we provide 20 beds, 15 of which are fully accessible.
​Residents are supervised by 24hr on-site staff, who provide support in developing re-integration action plans that reflect conditions placed on them by parole.​ Health and daily living support is provided by PSWs and nursing staff.
​In addition, volunteers provide community connection and informal supports to those living in our homes.
