About Us: Island Crisis Care Society has been dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing homelessness, substance use, and mental health challenges in Nanaimo and Oceanside for over 30 years. ICCS aims to provide shelter and care, enabling clients to focus on personal improvement and independence. Our mission is to offer a ‘continuum of care' through innovative housing strategies and comprehensive support programs, ensuring that clients receive the necessary assistance at every stage of their recovery journey.

ICCS operates 13 programs across 8 housing sites, supporting up to 250 clients daily. Our services range from crisis stabilization at facilities like Crescent House and Safe Harbour to long-term supportive housing at Orca Place and Samaritan Place. Specialized services are provided at The Bridge for those with complex care needs, while transitional housing like Mary's Place assists clients on their path to independent living. Additionally, our outreach programs and subsidized housing options aid clients in reintegrating into the community.

Beyond housing, ICCS offers programs such as Project Rise and the Life Skills for Community Connection Program, which provide skills training and work experience, helping clients overcome barriers to employment and achieve sustainable recovery.
