Our Mission

We offer our most vulnerable citizens a place to call their own, where we live, share and grow together.

About OUR PLACE SOCIETY

Our Place Society has grown from a unique inner-city community centre to multiple locations serving Greater Victoria’s most vulnerable, including people struggling with homelessness, mental health challenges, substance use issues, the working poor, LGBTQ+, and impoverished elderly.

Our Place provides over 1,400 meals every day, over 500 units of housing plus transitional shelter spaces, hot showers, education, job skills, health care, addiction recovery services, donated clothing, counseling, outreach services, and more. Our Place also operates a successful, long-term recovery community for men. Most importantly, Our Place provides a sense of hope and belonging to our neighbours in need.

New Roads: Therapeutic Recovery Community (TRC)

Established Oct.2018, the TRC is a 2-year program that offers a strengths-based community approach to recovery in which individuals have the opportunity to receive education regarding the disease of addiction and the supports to conquer the factors that are limiting their ability to achieve a full recovery.
