Fife House Board of Directors, led by the Strategic Plan Steering Committee, engaged with SCS Consulting to create our Strategic Plan – outlining the organization’s commitments over the next three years.

We are pleased to launch our plan that engaged residents, peers – People living with HIV/AIDS (PHAs), staff, community partners and various other stakeholders in an 8-month process that guides our collective work. View a PDF version of the Strategic Plan here.

Fife House 2021-2024 Strategic Plan

In our mission to provide secure and affordable supportive housing and support services for people living with HIV/AIDS, Fife House understands that historically marginalized groups in our communities often encounter particular barriers to full access and participation. We therefore commit to actively dismantling all forms of racism and systemic oppression with GIPA/MEPA at the forefront, including in our own organization and across governance structures. As a settler agency, Fife House stands in solidarity with Indigenous and Black Peoples across Turtle Island and recognizes the role we have in the work of reconciliation and healing, therefore we frame the work of the following Strategic Plan with this in mind.
Our Vision
