Be a Force for Sustainable Change at Borden Place Inc.

About BordenPlace Inc.

Established in May 2023, BordenPlace Inc. (BPI) is a registered non-profit charitable organization born out of community advocacy and necessity. Our vision is simple yet profound: to transform rooming houses into transitional supportive housing; places of tangible and sustainable change amid a fractured social service system.

Rooted in our core pillars — Affordability, Access, Support, Family, and Community — BPI provides residents with essential services including in-house medical support, nutritious meals, reconnection with family and community, and a dignified standard of living. We work closely with government partners and healthcare and addiction service agencies to help residents break cycles of homelessness and instability.

As we continue to grow, we are seeking passionate and committed individuals to join our volunteer team to guide our resident and community engagement mission forward.
