The Little House Society

is a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and advancing education related to substance use, abuse, and addiction, and abstinence-based recovery from addiction.

For 27 years, the Little House Society was charged with the responsibility of over-seeing a house located on 12th Avenue in South Delta, British Columbia that was used as a meeting place for addictions and related recovery groups. In 2009 the house was destroyed by arson.

The Society decided to turn this tragic event into an opportunity to redefine its mission and purpose. The Board and Members decided that not only would it rebuild the house as a multi-purpose facility to be used by recovery groups and other community groups, it would extend its mandate by looking for ways to provide knowledge and support to the community regarding substance abuse issues.

Fundraising is now underway with a goal of generating $250,000 in cash and kind which will be added to the insurance money in order to rebuild the facility. For more on our fundraising efforts, click here.

An Education Advisory Council (EAC) of experts in the fields of addiction, individual and family therapy, research, and recovery has been assembled to assist with the development, implementation, and evaluation of its community-based education strategies. It is our hope that these strategies will become a model for other communities wishing to make an impact when it comes to addressing substance abuse issues.
