Helping Discovery Islanders Find Affordable Homes
The Discovery Islands Affordable Housing Society is a community organization connecting tenants with property owners.
Our purpose is to:
- Create connections between vetted rental units and vetted tenants
- Assist renters with tenancy issues
- Advocate for designated numbers of affordable rental/ownership units in new developments
- Assist existing landowners in subdivision to allow for affordable housing units
- Maintain and collate data from housing needs surveys, ensuring information is available to all
Our Vision
A resilient and inclusive Quadra Island where everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home — now and into the future.
Our Mission
To create and support affordable, sustainable housing on Quadra Island that strengthens community, honors our shared values, and builds trust across generations.
You can read more about us on this page.
Want to join the society?
To get involved, apply today to connect with genuine local tenants in the Discovery Islands, including Quadra, Sonora, Read and outlying islands.
You’ll be the first to know when we launch our directory to connect tenants in the local community with suitable local housing opportunities. Landlords, if you have a suitable rental property you wish to list, or also just be involved in helping, please also join the society to be kept in the loop.
