About Us: Join Our Board of Directors!

The Safe at Home Society is a collaborative, non-profit organization dedicated to ending and preventing homelessness in the Yukon. We bring together various stakeholders, including service agencies, government partners, landlords, and those with lived/living experiences of homelessness to facilitate connections between people and the housing supports that they need. With initiatives like the transformation of a former hotel into supportive housing and the operation of the By-Name List, the society is actively involved in advocacy and practical solutions for homelessness across the territory.

We are a growing organization with our roots based in the community since 2017. We are focused on engaging the voices of those with lived/living experience of homelessness and championing the need for greater Indigenous representation in Safe at Home's work.
