UNITI

What UNITI does

UNITI is the operating brand of a partnership of three affiliated British Columbia non-profit societies — Semiahmoo House Society, Peninsula Estates Housing Society, and The Semiahmoo Foundation (the latter two holding Canadian charitable registrations 133821991 RR 0001 and 119144772 RR 0001). Founded in 1980 and headquartered at 15306 24th Avenue in South Surrey, UNITI provides community services and affordable housing to adults with developmental disabilities and adults with acquired brain injuries across Surrey and neighbouring communities. Its core service portfolio includes Community Services at South and North Campuses, Acquired Brain Injury Services, L.I.F.E. Services, WISE Employment Solutions, Recreation and Leisure, Family Supports, Staffed Homes (24-hour support), Supported Independent Living, and Community Support Network (Shared Living), supplemented by Self Advocates of Semiahmoo (SAS), a federally recognized self-advocacy group that contributed to the Canadian Accessibility Act. The housing portfolio comprises Peninsula Estates (35 townhomes plus 18 apartments on 5.5 acres), Chorus (a 71-unit inclusive apartment complex completed in 2016 as the first purpose-built rental in Surrey in over 30 years), and Harmony (a 91-unit, 6-storey inclusive building under development). Service delivery is grounded in the proprietary Person-Centred Thinking / Person-Centred Practices philosophy, delivered by certified trainers via the internal Centre for Compassionate Learning.

Revenue is generated from a mix of streams rather than a single commercial model: (1) government service contracts and referrals from Community Living BC and Fraser Health Authority, (2) rental income from housing properties structured across three affordability tiers — 20% of units at $500/month (extremely affordable), 50% at 30% of low-to-mid income (rent geared to income), and 30% at affordable market rates averaging 30% below Surrey market rent, (3) donations, grants, monthly giving, planned giving, and large-scale fundraisers such as Walk & Roll, and (4) participant fees for recreation and leisure programs. Multiple endowment funds (Ankenman Inclusive Living Fund, Butterley Family Fund, Dragonfly Fund, Wheeler/Soucy Fund, and others) are managed externally by RBC Wealth Management, providing financial stability. Unit-level pricing is publicly disclosed on the website; consolidated financial statements are referenced under the Reports section but not surfaced in the available source data.
