Peterborough Community Chaplaincy operates a well -established supportive residence for transition needs of offenders. The current 10 bed facility offers a unique service for hard to place offenders requiring transition support, by providing stable housing, with monitoring and support built into the program, a volunteer support base to assist residents in meeting reintegration and personal needs, and close ties to the chaplaincy community both in the community and in the institutions (prisons). Current contractual arrangements are in place for only two beds, leaving room for expansion. The strong community church base provides an opportunity for expansion to a PHP for appropriate offenders as a further transition.

This facility has a credible history in the provision of this type of service and has gained community acceptance in working with federal offenders. The Salvation Army Addiction and Rehabilitation Services has the support of the City of Greater Sudbury and is recognized as one of a number of volunteer supported Non-Governmental Organizations who have partnered historically with Correctional Service Canada to provide community hostel services to facilitate the safe reintegration of offenders into the community.
