What is the Help Centre of Northumberland?
The Help Centre of Northumberland (THCN) carries out its mission to further and promote social justice, equity, and the right to self-determination through services provided through two sister agencies: The Help Centre and The Northumberland Community Legal Centre.
THCN helps the unemployed and disadvantaged residents of Northumberland County through programs that give help for the real world problems of low-income people.
The Help Centre provides programs in Income Security, Housing Security and Health Security. The Northumberland Community Legal Centre provides clients with legal advice and representation in common areas of the law related to income, employment and housing. Where there is a gap in services for low-income County residents, THCN strives to create innovative programs to fill those gaps.
