Jamesville 2 at 309 James St N is the site of our hot meal dining room and Discovery House-Jamesville Residential Program.  Formerly a tavern, the Jamesville 2 has been transformed into a refuge, a safe place for men to eat and receive fellowship, counseling and self-care.

Discovery House - Jamesville Residential Program is a long term program (up to1year) assisting individuals that have barriers to accessing other treatment programs/centres.

Our program is geared to individuals who are struggling with chronic/acute addictions or concurrent disorders.  Our mandate is to serve marginalized individuals who are struggling with homelessness, spiritual deprivation and addiction.

Our objective is to provide a safe, stable, structured, holistic environment for individuals seeking a lifestyle change that is substance free.  Prescribed medications are accepted.
