A housing unit for adults with mental illness has been operating at full capacity since it opened in Fredericton last year, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

HALIFAX A home built for adults with complex mental health needs is celebrating one year of being open – entirely during the pandemic. And the non-profit behind the home says while it s been challenging, they know they could be helping more people. Costello House opened on March 25, 2020, named in memory of Const. Robb Costello, a Fredericton police officer who was shot and killed in a 2018 shooting. Costello s widow, Jackie McLean, finds solace volunteering with the non-profit New Brunswick Community Residences, who operates three residences for adults with mental illness – including Costello House. I get a pang of pride and joy every time I say the words Costello House because it really does feel like Robb is living on, she said in an interview with CTV Atlantic.
