We all deserve a home.
At Options Housing we’re ending homelessness one person at a time, by providing permanent homes with wraparound support to those who have experienced homelessness.
This isn’t about housing, it’s about people.
And it’s not just about finding a home, it’s about keeping it, too. That’s why everything we do is about making sure individuals get the housing and services they need, wherever they’re at, without condition or judgment.

Our Impact
Options Housing is a team of caring individuals committed to ending homelessness.
We help hundreds of people experiencing homelessness find and keep a home so they can get back the parts of their lives they had to set aside when they were unhoused. We’re leading the way in homelessness prevention by offering a wide range of programs that provide permanent, deeply affordable, safe, secure homes. Our wraparound services also include access to day-to-day supports that individuals need to successfully make a fresh start.
As our work progresses, we’re dedicated to making a meaningful contribution to reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous Peoples are eight times more likely to experience homelessness, and we want to change that.
Our hope is that Indigenous Peoples come to know Options Housing as a community that listens to their lived experiences and responds by providing a safe space to live and heal. We will walk alongside Indigenous communities to close the gap on the disproportionate number of Indigenous people who are homeless.
We know that ending homelessness is possible, because we do it every day!
People who have experienced homelessness may need support with many things, not just finding a place to live.
We’ve created programs to meet as many of these needs as possible, but we’re just one organization. Where we don’t have a specific service, we’ve partnered with some excellent organizations in the city so that everyone gets the help they need.
Solving homelessness is about more than finding housing.
