At Women’s Housing Company, we believe that a safe home is the foundation for opportunity, dignity and independence. This year, we continued to put that belief into action by supporting women experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity while expanding the housing and services that help women rebuild their lives and thrive.
The 2025/26 year was one of significant progress. We launched our new Strategic Plan 2026–2030, strengthened our homelessness and housing services, welcomed women into new homes, and advanced a pipeline of growth opportunities that will increase the supply of safe and affordable housing for women. From social and affordable housing acquisitions to innovative initiatives such as Stronger Together, we continued to pursue solutions that respond to the diverse needs of women at different stages of life.
Importantly, our impact extends beyond housing. Through programs such as Purposeful Pathways, the Fellowship Program and Her Voice, we supported women to build confidence, develop skills, strengthen connections and have their voices heard. We also continued to advocate for supported housing and for gender-responsive housing policies and increased investment in housing solutions tailored to women’s needs.
We are equally proud of the investments made in our people, systems and culture. Strong staff engagement, leadership development, improved technology and ongoing regulatory compliance have strengthened WHC’s capacity to deliver sustainable impact into the future.
We thank our tenants, staff, Board Directors, partners, supporters, donors and government stakeholders for their commitment and collaboration. Together, we are creating more homes, more opportunities and a stronger future for women.

When Miranda first walked into Women’s Housing Company for her initial appointment, she shared a simple but powerful concern: “I think I want to work, but I’m scared about how to start.” Although she had always embraced opportunities with passion and dedication, Miranda carried the weight of a negative past work experience that had shaken […]
