Grande Prairie Residential Society

At The Grande Prairie Residential Society:
Our Mission since 1986: “To provide accessible
and affordable housing for people with physical
disabilities”

The Grande Prairie Residential Society (GPRS) is a local non-profit organization. It is run by a dedicated volunteer board. This board is made up of community members and tenants. The GPRS was formed in 1986. A local group of individuals created it because they saw a need for housing in northern Alberta. This housing was specifically for people with physical disabilities. The group included people with disabilities and their families, along with supporters in the health and business community. The Grande Prairie Residential Society has built three major housing projects since 1986, which the Society continues to run. The provincial and federal governments have provided funds toward the building of all three GPRS projects. The Society has also had generous financial support from local community organizations, businesses, and individuals.

The need for accessible, affordable housing continues to grow in our community. GPRS remains dedicated to finding creative solutions. These solutions aim to meet the housing needs of the future.
