Mission

The Kingston Community House (or “99 York”) is a not-for-profit organization that provides safe, comfortable, and inclusive meeting spaces for community groups and individuals. For 40 years, the house has served as a gathering point where folks come together, learn from another, share resources, and trade skills. The house is open to members seven days a week, 365 days a year. We’re located on the unceded territory of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat.

99 York was founded on the belief that everyone has the capacity to take responsibility for themselves given the proper tools and encouragement. A typical day at at the house may include a cooking class, a meditation group, and a film screening. Or an art class, a book club, and a 12-step program.

The house exists to serve those who value the importance of working together for a more interconnected and self-reliant lifestyle based on enriched relationships and communities, not consumer goods.
