The first stone.
In masonry, a cornerstone is the first stone set in a foundation. It is the essential anchor that allows everything else to be built. We believe that every person deserves this kind of solid ground. Cornerstone Shelter Services acts as this anchor in the Central Okanagan. Operating with a “meet people where they are” mindset, we provide a warm, inclusive environment where individuals can access life skills, advocacy, and health support to begin their journey toward permanent housing.
