The Tiny Foundation is proud to support StreettoHome to launch a Delancey Street community in British Columbia. Delancey Street is a highly structured, two-year, live-in, educational program that functions as an extended family for those motivated to leave their prison history behind. Community members engage in purposeful and meaningful activities that contribute to developing life skills and pro-social behaviours, achieving high school equivalency, and learning three marketable vocations. A strong traditional family value system stresses work ethic, personal responsibility, social accountability, decency, integrity, and caring for others.

Delancey Street provides an attractive, empowering opportunity for vulnerable individuals to learn, lead, and earn, at no cost to participating members, family, or government. The model sustains itself through the sale of goods and services delivered through Delancey Street’s own vocational training schools, staffed by seasoned members of the community.
