Pacifica Housing is a registered Canadian charity (CRN: 122654999 RR0001) and is one of Vancouver Island’s largest non-profit providers of affordable homes and supportive services. Every day, we work alongside individuals and families in Greater Victoria and Nanaimo to build stability, connection, and a sense of home. With more than 1,500 affordable homes - and more on the way - we’re proud to support over 2,700 people through housing and community-based programs that meet people where they’re at.

Our housing portfolio includes subsidized and affordable rental market housing, seniors supported housing, transitional and supportive housing programs. Additionally, Pacifica Housing runs the Downtown Outreach and Housing Resource Services (DOHRS) program which provides drop-in advocacy, housing and financial navigation services for those who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness.

Members of Pacifica Housing’s Community Services team also work with other community service providers to provide rent supplements, encampment outreach, Indigenous outreach and landlord liaison services. Additionally, the wider team delivers the incredibly successful Streets to Homes program, which provides supportive services to individuals with a history of chronic homelessness living in the private rental market.
