The Progressive Housing Society:

Lighting the Path to Independence and Stability

Established in 1981, The Progressive Housing Society is a vital non-profit charity in Burnaby, providing essential services to over 2500 adults facing mental health challenges or homelessness. We aim to create pathways to independence and self-reliance for individuals who are at risk of being marginalized. All our services are tailored to assist individuals in achieving or regaining independence within their capabilities.

Our organization approaches this in two different ways: facilitating access to housing and supporting mental health. For those navigating the complexities of securing a home, our housing support programs are a crucial resource, offering support and accommodation solutions that might otherwise be out of reach. Concurrently, our mental health program is designed to equip clients with the necessary tools and resources to address their challenges, achieve their personal goals, and enhance their quality of life.

As a recognized partner of the Canadian Government, The Progressive Housing Society is a proven leader in the provision of quality, affordable housing. We are dedicated to fostering stability and improving the lives of those we serve, marking every interaction with professionalism and care. In doing so, The Progressive Housing Society continues to contribute significantly to the wellbeing of our community, reinforcing our commitment to supporting individuals on their journey towards a more stable and independent future.
