  • The Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Centre Society has new below-market homes

    The Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Centre Society (VAFCS) has helped urban Indigenous people in Vancouver find community, resources, and support since 1963. It has now opened Ho'-kee-melh Kloshe Tum Tum in the Downtown Eastside, a new apartment building whose name means "to gather, good spirits," and the 87 below-market homes there are on Rentable so you can see the community and the housing provider before you apply.
