Sunnyside Community

About Sunnyside

The Sunnyside Community is a supportive affordable housing community project in Saint John, New Brunswick. United Way Saint John, Kings & Charlotte is leading this project and will be the owner and operator of the site. This community will offer up to 70 high-quality, deeply affordable modular home units, with wrap around supports to ensure residents can remain safely housed.

The Sunnyside Community is designed to address the homelessness crisis. Residents will be selected from the by-name list and NB housing list. A home at Sunnyside will provide stability, allowing residents to achieve personal goals and rebuild their lives. Please note: we are not currently accepting applications or creating a waitlist, and these homes are not for sale.
