About Us
Working to Make the
System Better
At Journey Home, we see a future where everyone has a place to call home, where people who have lost, or are at risk of losing their housing, have access to a coordinated and easy-to-navigate system of care. A system of care that creates a safety net to catch people when their housing slips, supporting and housing them as they find their feet again.
Learn More About UsGetting kicked out of family, feeling no sense of belonging, connection or purpose. In seeking community, I found a place where people understood me, accepted me.

Help Us Make a Difference
Homelessness has an impact on all of us, not just those who experience it directly. Kelowna isn’t just a city, it’s a community. We all have a role to play in making homelessness history, just as we’ll all benefit from a community that’s made healthier, happier, wealthier and more productive by addressing homelessness.
