  • Abundance: community integration and goal setting

  • Soul: life skills and wellness 

  • Addictions counselling 

  • Trauma healing programming

  • Cultural connections through Indigenous and African Nova Scotian specific supports

  • Training opportunities based on individual program planning

Hannah House

​An eight-unit duplex in the heart of Halifax’s west end, Hannah House is a home for women and gender-diverse individuals who are prepared to live independently but can also benefit from the support that Elizabeth Fry Society of Mainland Nova Scotia offers.

​Established in memory of Hannah Louise MacLean, Hannah House is a safe haven for those facing struggles similar to what Hannah faced. By providing residents with programming, counselling, and a strong sense of mutual support, our goal is to contribute to their capacity for self-sufficiency, reaching goals, fulfillment, and reintegration into the community.
