Housing
Housing was the original focus of the Dignity House Advisory Committee (DHAC). The history of how DHAC transitioned into the Dignity Seniors Society (DSS) is described here.
DSS is committed to working with a number of stakeholders to ensure our communities are well-served, and that housing needs are met in a part of the world where accessible and affordable housing can be challenging.
We highlight the unique housing needs of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, and advocating for and supporting service providers to develop culturally appropriate services and spaces.
We are working with B.C.’s health authorities to define services that we can recommend as culturally appropriate.
Below we provide information on unique housing models, aging-in place (staying in your home), and entering assisted living and long-term-care facilities.
Please contact us if you have questions, or know of other resources we can add to this page.
