As Cabbagetown became more diversified, Central Neighbourhood House adjusted its programming to allow for the changing immigrant demographics. This ranged from the Chinese Women's Club, one of the first CHN adult clubs, to the more recent Somali women's group of the 2000s. The Italian Women's Club -- which originally met once weekly for tea -- continues to meet some 20 years later - members crossing town with their daughters and granddaughters t maintain the tradition of dancing the Tarantella.

In 1968, children poured out of the Central Neighbourhood House Sherbourne Street location, carrying bricks to solicit funds for building a new home on Ontario Street. While the pace of change in the Regent Park and Cabbagetown neighbourhoods has accelerated, as former executive director, Jeanne Rowles, noted in 1971, "...the needs haven't changed but our understanding of how they can be met has matured."
