Homelessness in Kingston reflects a growing crisis across Ontario, where tens of thousands wait for supportive housing. Traditional shelters often lack privacy, stability, and dignity. Evidence from Canadian projects shows sleeping cabin communities offer cost-effective, relationship-based transitional housing that fosters safety, autonomy, and pathways to permanent housing.
Our first major initiative was the sleeping cabin community pilot located in Kingston, Ontario’s Portsmouth Olympic Harbour and Centre 70 Arena. While the pilot has wound down, we are actively planning for Crossroads Village—the future permanent home for the cabin community. OLS continues to support alumni, develop prevention and diversion resources, and advocate for systemic change to housing.
