“Success is when we can work together to match families experiencing homelessness with the right home, building and community. Horizon Housing brings heart, home and stability to all its residents.”
- Perry, Housing Liaison of Trellis Society (retired)
Referring Partners
To pave the way for success for our residents, we partner with more than 35 social service agencies. These partners refer individuals to Horizon and, once an individual makes their home with us, provide a range of ongoing support services.
We collaborate with our referring partners to ensure each resident, no matter their past experience, mental or physical health challenges, or economic circumstance, is able to live independently and enjoy a stable, affordable, long-term home.
Our residents join us through the following agencies:
