Our Mission

To provide safe and secure supportive housing to persons with persistent serious mental illness (PSMI) in Windsor, Ontario.

What do we do?

IRIS Residential Inns and Services is a charity that operates IRIS House in the heart of downtown Windsor, Ontario. IRIS House is a home that provides permanent housing, food services, and supervised care to 67 people aged 18+ living with persistent serious mental illness (PSMI).

Since its opening in 2002, IRIS House has stayed in operation for nearly 25 years helping nearly 300 people live healthy stable lives, avoiding psychiatric wards, and subsequently alleviating Federal and Provincial healthcare costs.
