Vancouver Native Housing Society is a registered non-profit that is always looking for more support to help provide affordable housing for Indigenous peoples in Vancouver.

Vancouver Native Housing Society’s mandate is to provide safe, secure and affordable housing. Although our original and ongoing mandate is to focus on the housing needs of the urban Indigenous community we have expanded our operations to include housing solutions for non-Indigenous people, seniors, youth, women at risk, persons living with mental illness and the homeless and homeless at-risk populations.
VNHS was founded in 1984 and currently runs a portfolio of 19 buildings with almost 900 units. VNHS provides family, individual and supportive housing options in the Commercial-Broadway, Grandview-Woodlands, Downtown Eastside and West-End neighbourhoods in Vancouver.
In addition to family and supportive housing residences, VNHS runs two Indigenous Social Enterprises called Skwachays Lodge and Gallery. Skwachays Lodge is also home to our Artists in Residence Program, a program that houses, supports, and provides Indigenous artists with a place to live and create. The artist’s rents are subsidized by the hotel and gallery revenue. For more information about Skwachays Lodge and Gallery, please visit www.skwachays.com
Vancouver Native Housing Society is a registered charity and is governed by an all Indigenous Board of Directors.
