About Us
Welcome to Happipad, where we are dedicated to addressing Canada’s pressing affordable housing crisis with a refreshing approach. Our mission is simple yet impactful: to create a safe, seamless, and enjoyable experience for individuals seeking to share homes. We firmly believe that fostering compatibility among housemates not only alleviates financial burdens but also plays a pivotal role in nurturing meaningful friendships and cultivating an inclusive society.
With over 12 million empty bedrooms across Canada, there is ample space to accommodate everyone and foster a sense of belonging for all. At Happipad, we are committed to making a positive difference by connecting people and creating opportunities for shared living that transcend traditional boundaries.
Inclusivity starts with housing.
Happipad stands for inclusivity.
At Happipad, inclusivity lies at the core of our vision. We believe in fostering inter-generational and multi-cultural connections that go beyond sharing physical spaces. Our platform is designed to bring people from different backgrounds together, enabling them to not only share homes but also create meaningful chapters in their lives.
We celebrate diversity and understand the transformative power of building bridges between individuals of various ages, cultures, and life experiences. By nurturing a community where everyone feels welcomed and valued, we strive to create an inclusive environment that promotes understanding, friendship, and personal growth.
Our vision
Happipad envisions a Canada where everyone feels a deep sense of belonging, and vibrant communities are built through home sharing.
We strive to create a sustainable and compassionate society where affordable housing is accessible to all, newcomers are welcomed, and seniors can age in place with dignity.
Together, we can create a future where joy and happiness abound in every corner of our great nation.

A better way to rent
We believe that sharing homes offers an ideal solution to address the housing supply shortage in a unique and efficient manner. Unlike traditional construction projects that require time and resources, sharing homes provides an immediate and sustainable option.
By utilizing existing housing stock, we unlock untapped potential and offer affordable living spaces that are readily available. This innovative approach benefits not only those seeking affordable housing but also homeowners looking to earn extra income. Through shared living, we not only alleviate financial pressures but also foster a sense of community and connection.
At Happipad, we are proud to facilitate a rental experience that is both practical and socially rewarding, contributing to the growth of more inclusive, sustainable, and connected communities.
Our hosts love Happipad
“I’ve been a host with Happipad for a couple years now and have nothing but great things to say! I started with Happipad because I wanted to reach out to help students find a place, they can feel comfortable in and call home. Our current student is truly a part of our family.”

“The whole idea of Happipad is a win both for the guest and the host. The selection methods, the security and safety, and your management of the program. I have learned how important building an operating agreement with my renter is.”
