Brightside Community Homes Foundation

About

In 1952, inspired by the vision and dedication of a small group of people, and with the support of various levels of government, Housing Foundation of BC was incorporated under the Society Act of BC as a non-profit society providing low-cost housing to senior citizens in Vancouver.

Over 65 years later, with the same mandate but much larger community impact, including families and people with disabilities, the organization has rebranded as Brightside Community Homes Foundation to better reflect its mission.

Brightside is a private-sector, non-profit organization that currently owns and manages 26 buildings comprising of 940 units across the city of Vancouver. With assets of nearly $250 million, it is one of British Columbia’s largest housing societies. Brightside’s mission is to provide affordable homes to those who need it most and to fight for a future where people of all income levels have a home within a vibrant and healthy community. Seniors, families and people with disabilities are some of the most significantly impacted by the housing affordability crisis facing our city.

In addition to providing affordable housing for those who need it most, Brightside places important focus on community development that fosters strong social connections and resilience among its residents.
