Safe, affordable, barrier-free homes — designed for independence.
“It’s somewhere you can be independent, but there is support staff when you need it.” — Rose Pike, founding member (1984)
Accessibility in housing isn't a bonus feature — it's basic infrastructure. Our housing creates safe, affordable access to independence, dignity, and full participation in community life. Grande Prairie Residential Society exists to close that gap.
Applicants must have a physical disability that impairs their mobility. Priority is given to wheelchair users who need barrier-free housing.
If you require personal support services, your needs must be assessed and a care plan in place before acceptance into a unit.
You must meet income requirements set by GPRS and be willing to enter a landlord-tenant agreement with the Society.
For information on financial qualification and assistance programs, please contact our property manager, Grande Spirit Foundation Family Housing.
