Vancouver, Canada Vancouver Native Housing Society Full time

**WHO ARE WE?**

Vancouver Native Housing Society (VNHS) has been in operation since 1984 with the mandate of providing culturally appropriate housing so that tenants have a sense of belonging with supports in place for harm reduction. While the core function of VNHS is in providing housing, there is acknowledgement that many of the tenants have endured intergenerational trauma. Residents have been disenfranchised from their communities and so in addition to housing, VNHS has the responsibility of creating a safe community by connecting residents with community service supports as well as access to cultural opportunities.

VNHS takes the approach that it has been tasked as a custodian of the lands and buildings, rather than a landlord. Tenants did not choose the leadership of VNHS, and it is therefore up to the organization to earn the trust and respect of the tenants. This is achieved by running an efficient and socially responsible organization.
