Vancouver - Belkin House

Personal Development Plan (PDP)

We desire that every individual who comes to us will know that they are deeply valued; that they will discover a fresh opportunity for positive change and for new life; and that they will experience community, healing, and transformation. Belkin House provides a temporary home to those who are experiencing, or at risk of homelessness. The Personal Development Plan (PDP) Program is a proactive approach to the tragedy of poverty and homelessness that provides individuals with practical assistance, skills development and mentorship. Our aim is to support individuals through their healing journey, providing encouragement and the tools  necessary to reach their unique goals.

Five pillars of the Personal Development Plan Program

1. Building Healthy Community
2. Imparting Tools for Living
3. Forming A Spiritual Foundation
4. Offering Support Services
5. Preparing For Employment & Worker Training

Our three stage PDP Program was purposely designed as the “next step” for men and women seeking to break the cycles of poverty, despair and destructive patterns of living, and to progress forward towards positive, productive, self sufficient and independent living within the community.Our Program is particularly beneficial as a continuum of support for men and women who have just completed a residential addiction treatment program.
