Provincial Learning Event: Building Community Pathways to Housing for Seniors
Join us to learn about the SHINE program. SHINE (Seniors Housing Information and Navigation Ease) is a city specific, senior centric, provincial network model led by the Seniors Services Society of BC that helps seniors aged 60+ who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing their housing. Through personalized housing navigation, advocacy, and connections to financial, health, and social supports, SHINE helps vulnerable seniors find and maintain safe, stable homes.
Since 2019, SHINE has supported more than 20,000 seniors across British Columbia. For many older adults facing a housing crisis, navigating complex systems and accessing the right services can be overwhelming, especially when compounded by health challenges, financial insecurity, social isolation, or mental health and substance use concerns.
Without stable housing and appropriate supports, seniors face a heightened risk of declining health, increased isolation, and other serious social and economic consequences. SHINE provides a critical lifeline, ensuring seniors receive the guidance and support they need not just to secure housing, but to age with dignity, safety, and stability.
