About Sunshine Housing Inc. - Sunshine Housing

Sunshine Housing Inc. is a non profit, charitable organization that provides person centered supports for people who experience disability.

We receive funding from the Ministry of Social Services and Saskatchewan Health Authority.

Our story began in 1985 when Sunshine Housing Inc. was incorporated under the Non-Profit Corporation Act by a group of friends and families of persons with disabilities. A proposal was made to the government to open a home in Hague. This location was chosen as there was a Developmental Centre and Daily Living Resource at Hague School. The proposal was accepted in 1987 and in the first home opened in 1988. In 2000 the second home in Hague, to follow in 2006 we opened the third home in Osler and in 2010 the fourth home opened in Hague. In 2019 we started our Community Based Day Program.

What is important to you that people should know about Sunshine Housing?

“It is important to have fun people in my life.”

“I like people when people do stuff (tasks/jobs) with me and don’t always just tell me what to do. I know how to do (cooking, cleaning) they don’t need to tell me, but I like to do it together.”

What do you like about living at Sunshine?

“I like the projects we do at Sunshine like painting wood signs and selling them on Facebook.” “I like my staff, they are nice and they give good hugs. I have my own family, but the staff are like another family.”

Dave Epp, Sunshine Resident

What is important to you that people should know about Sunshine Housing?

“Staff need to be problem solvers. You can’t be controlling. You have to be easy going and explain things in a gentle way. You can’t just tell people what to do or there will be tension in the house.”

What is important to you that people should know about Sunshine Housing?

“For me personally, at the men’s home, we are independent and that is very important for me. I like having my freedom and to do what I want. I like that there are people who care about me and look out for me and make sure there is quality of life, but I like that I have as much freedom as possible living here.”
