Our History
More Than a Roof Housing was founded in 1984 as Mennonite Central Committee (BC) Social Housing Society. For decades, the society served as a Christian housing organization offering affordable housing in Vancouver and across BC.
Since 2003, More Than a Roof Housing Society has been an independent, registered BC non-profit housing society. Today, it provides affordable housing for low-income families, seniors and individuals. Through its faith-based housing support, the Society provides hope and healing to over 2,400 people in 15 locations throughout British Columbia.
In 2005, More Than a Roof Foundation was established to inspire hopeful and generous British Columbians to participate in the vital work of More Than a Roof Society. Through affordable, supportive housing in BC, we are breaking cycles of poverty and homelessness.
