Our history

OHSNA grew from home operators working together to improve housing, support and quality of life for residents.

1970s

Home operators formed associations to bring a coordinated voice to discussions with municipal and provincial governments about funding, standards and residents’ needs.

2000

The Homes for Special Care Association and Domiciliary Hostel Association amalgamated, bringing their work together in one association.

A continuing shared purpose

Advocacy, communication and practical support for housing providers remain central to OHSNA’s work.
