RainCity Housing - The Vivian

The Vivian, affectionately called the Viv, was the first fully accessible housing program in Vancouver specifically designed for women (trans and cis inclusive) who face systemic and individual barriers to adequate housing and health, personal and financial security.

To provide housing to women as they address their own self-identified goals and offer support consistent with values of cultural connection and healing, self-determination and harm reduction.

The community at The Viv includes women who experience challenges with substance use, are at extreme risk of exposure to violence, require access to mental and physical health care and have a history of trauma and housing instability.

The Viv is a three-story building that provides housing to 24 women. Here women are supported on their own terms. The program screens women in, not out of the program, responding to the complexities of women's needs, histories and survival skills.

Women (trans and cis inclusive) who face systemic and individual barriers.

RainCity Housing - The Vivian is open Open 24 hours, 7 days a week.
