A community more than just housing, but a place where people care.

Bob and Michael’s Place, at 32 West Hastings, is an innovative social housing project in the Downtown Eastside that creates 231 new welfare/pension and HILs homes alongside a 55,000-square-foot integrated health center serving the entire DTES community. This 10-storey building is a unique collaboration that brought together all levels of government and a charitable foundation to set a new benchmark for community-oriented social housing in Vancouver. With funding from BC Housing, CMHC, and proceeds from a $30-million community-based fundraising campaign by the Vancouver Chinatown Foundation, the project has redefined what affordable social housing can be.

Bob and Michael’s Place is more than just housing. It is a community where meaningful moments are created—where residents can safely live, find the support to reset their lives, and thrive among others with shared goals.
