Emergency Shelter Program

 

VAFCS is committed to providing safe and secure shelter to individuals at risk of or experiencing homelessness in the community. Our 24-hour emergency shelter, located at 1660 East Hastings/201 Central Street, is open to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals, offering a welcoming and supportive environment where people can find refuge and begin the process of rebuilding their lives.


Our shelter provides beds for individuals who are at risk of or experiencing imminent homelessness, offering them a temporary respite and the resources they need to begin the process of securing more permanent housing. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to providing personalized support to each individual, working closely with them to identify their needs and develop a plan for achieving their goals.

COMING SOON - 1015 E. Hastings Indigenous Housing

Ongoing Construction. 

 

M’akola Development Services (MDS) is working as a development consultant for BC Housing and the Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Centre Society who are partnering to build a range of housing options for people of all ages struggling to find a place to call home. The project is being planned for the City-owned vacant lot at 1015 East Hastings and would include:

  • 80 welcoming, safe shelter beds for people and families experiencing homelessness
  • 25 studios and one-bedrooms for people who are ready to move from the shelter to more independent living
  • 85 new affordable rental homes for people and families with lower incomes (one, two and three-bedroom units)
  • 53 new market rental homes to help pay for the cost of the more affordable units
  • Social enterprise space operated by the Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Centre Society
