Summary
About PHS Community Services Society
PHS Community Services Society (often known as Portland Hotel Society) operates over 1,700 units of low-barrier supportive housing across Vancouver and Victoria, primarily serving people with concurrent mental health and substance-use disorders, as well as forensic and homeless populations. PHS runs primary care clinics, dental services, and harm-reduction programs alongside its housing portfolio. Most units are accessed through BC Housing's Supportive Housing Registry or coordinated access tables, but PHS receives direct inquiries and operates social-enterprise housing alongside its registry stock.
