SGI Housing NOW Project

06/09/2026

Did you know that some of our most vital island workers—from farmhands and ferry staff to healthcare workers and restaurant crew—struggle to find a place to lay their heads each season?

Housing on the Southern Gulf Islands is tough, but the solution might be sitting right in our own homes: If you have a spare room, a seasonal cottage, or an underutilized suite, you can make a massive difference. Housing NOW helps match local homeowners with verified, background-checked community members looking for a place to live.

It’s a win-win: you get a little extra income and/or help around the property, and our community gets to keep the wonderful people who keep our islands running.

Housing challenges affect far more than rent prices. They impact whether businesses can keep staff, seniors can remain safely at home, and communities can continue supporting the people who make island life possible.

Sometimes even a small housing opportunity can help someone stay connected to the community they support.

We often see workers having to leave the Islands because they can't find a place to live. Or businesses not being able to stay open because the staff can't afford (or can't find) rentals. And many other stories of housing affecting different aspects of the "Island Life".
