Summary

About Brightside Community Homes Foundation

Brightside Community Homes Foundation (formerly the Vancouver Foundation Housing Society) has been providing affordable housing in Vancouver since 1952. The non-profit owns and operates 26 residential buildings across the city, housing seniors, families, and people with disabilities who can live independently. Brightside is undergoing a multi-decade portfolio renewal, redeveloping aging buildings into expanded mixed-income rental communities. Renters apply directly through Brightside's housing applications portal, and units include both deeply subsidized RGI (rent-geared-to-income) and below-market rental tiers. The organization is one of the rare large operators that maintains a private application stream outside the BC Housing centralized registry.
