The Debra Dynes Family House is a multiservice community resource in a low-income social housing area.
Over 150 people per day from a wide geographic area access the programs and services of the Family House.
Because of the high demand for services, the Family House was expanded in the spring of 1998 and is seeking to expand again. The House is open 7 days a week and five evenings in addition to full programming and services during the day. (See programs and services section for more information).
The Debra Dynes Family House was officially opened on June 1 1995 and is a Registered Charitable Organization, effective Aug 1 1996. The House was Incorporated March 2002.
Mission Statement
The Debra Dynes Family House is committed to improving the quality of life for multiculturally diverse families, children and youth who are low income and working poor, through a range of services and programs that are community driven and meet their needs.
A Work in Progress
The Debra Dynes Family House continues to evolve its services and programs to meet new needs and identify gaps in services. The work of the Family House and the community was recognized in 2001 through the United Way Community Builder Award for “Outstanding Neighborhood Achievement”.
