Since 1998, the Community Development Partnership has owned and operated Canal House, a residential sober living facility that can accommodate five men and three women, plus an on-site program manager. The facility is located within walking distance of local amenities and public transportation. Residents of Canal House live in private rooms while sharing living room, kitchen, and bathroom facilities. They pay rent on a sliding scale (subsidized through the Orleans Housing Authority, if necessary) as they participate in their treatment program. Other financial support is derived solely by donations from the Lower Cape community – including individuals, businesses, and religious organizations
