About this service
The Budzey is unique to both Vancouvers Downtown Eastside and to RainCity Housing. It provides opportunities for women and families living there to make connections with a comprehensive range of services and navigate the change from previous housing situations or homelessness into stable, supported, permanent housing.
While there are 147 units in the building, there are well over 200 people that live there, as families change and grow. Since opening in July 2015, many newborns have come from hospital to the Budzey - their first home!
A ten story building with 106 studio suites for women and 41 family units (1, 2 and 3 bedroom) for women led families. Staff focus on activities that will strengthen the community and provide services:
- Liaising with community services and partners
- Peer based programming
- Community kitchen nights
This project uses a gender and diversity lens that supports an inclusive, safe and vibrant community, making it possible for everyone living at the Budzey to flourish.
Who can use it?
Housing for women (Trans, Cis and Gender Diverse), and for women led families.
