Flourish House has become a place where my housemates and I have found meaningful community, deepened our understanding of ourselves, our values and spirituality and opportunities to offer hospitality to other young adults looking for a place to be loved and care for. I believe that Flourish House is an important space and has the power to move young adults from loneliness that they might be experiencing in a big city to feeling community and belonging.
Since moving into Flourish House, I have had the most gracious opportunities to become more embedded in the Eglinton St. George’s community and to build beautiful friendships with each of my co-residents. Following a period of social dislocation, Flourish House granted me a reprieve from such adversity, injecting into my life the community and fellowship that I longed for during those years. Similarly, several other people in our neighborhood who are also trying to put things back together after COVID have found at Flourish House an open and reliable avenue to socialize, relax, laugh, and break bread. A certain fellow in our neighborhood, who faces challenges and supports his family a great deal at home, has voiced his gratitude for inviting him to join in our weekly dinners and has become a regular at Flourish House for over a year now. As residents of the House, we also mutually support and collaborate with each other creatively, whether it be in facilitating one resident’s art exhibit or attending another resident’s concert.
