At the heart of Deohaeko is the belief that people, who have never been able to have homes of their own, will live in those homes in a community with other people who will welcome them. In discovering and nurturing everyone’s gifts, a strong community will evolve so that the dignity, uniqueness, freedom and participation of each individual will be honoured and facilitated in a natural, neighbourly way.
Each of the Deohaeko individuals has much to offer as a neighbour, friend, family member, employee, volunteer or community member. Deohaeko is committed to encouraging, welcoming and working toward sustaining community inclusion, participation and friendship within people’s neighbourhoods and daily life.
