Serving the Surrey/White Rock area, on the stolen land of the Semiahma (Semiahmoo, q?ic??y? (Katzie), and q’?a:n??’?n? (Kwantlen) Nations, Alex House is a place-based multi-service organization that works with the community to address their emergent and diverse needs. As a member of the Association of Neighbourhood Houses of BC, we are committed to place-making and working to create a vibrant, inclusive, and caring community where people from diverse backgrounds can gather, grow, and build a spirit of community. Neighbourhood Houses build safe, inclusive communities where people have a sense of belonging, a sense of place in time and the knowledge that they, as individuals, have the ability to make a difference in their own lives, in their neighbourhood and in their community. It isn’t about providing a program or service to address a specific need, it’s about providing tools, knowledge and practical support that empowers individuals to improve their quality of life and, in some cases, take on leadership roles in their community. Neighbourhood Houses aim to help people to find the solution instead of being the solution.
