Sunshine House is a place where people can grow! Sunshine House traces its roots to 1983, when a group of volunteers came together to provide home care for Brian Taylor, who became the thirteenth person to die of AIDS in Manitoba. Through the turbulent years of the 1980s and ’90s, the Kali-Shiva AIDS Society worked to provide care and outreach during the HIV/AIDS crisis, trailblazing harm reduction practices in Winnipeg on minimal budgets.
Sunshine House fills gaps and engages with folks with the goal of fulfilling social, community and recreational needs. Participants can always come as they are — there is no requirement to be sober. Visitors can access everything from hot meals and harm reduction supplies to laundry and bathing facilities, free clothing, foot care, referrals and other supports.
As of February 2021, Sunshine House is a signatory to Choosing Real Safety: A Historic Declaration to Divest from Policing and Prisons and Build Safer Communities for All. The declaration can be found on the Choosing Real Safety website, and the text is also posted in full below.
This page contains downloadable copies of research reports published by Sunshine House, as well as our Annual Reports and other publications created over the years.
