Network of Inner City Community Services Society

Description

The HUB Program provides direct support for families and their children living in the Grandview-Woodlands, Downtown Eastside and Strathcona neighbourhoods of Vancouver. We provide these outreach services to families in English and Chinese. Families often require extensive support regarding housing issues, health services and access to early childhood development programs. The program also works with residents and community agencies to address gaps in services for families and children, working with a number of partners to implement solutions.

As well we can provide a security deposit if current housing is deemed unsafe or unsustainable. Furthermore we provide low income individuals with the tools to better manage their limited financial resources.
