We seek to be a sign that love and community are possible between all people; to awaken and inspire the imagination in others for shared life with the stranger; to nurture and tend intentional communities to be spaces of belonging where friendships extending acceptance, listening and grace may be built.
We operate affordable supportive housing communities in the Grandview Woodlands Neighbourhood in East Vancouver. We educate and nurture those living in intentional community and those curious about it.
Co:Here opened in early 2018 and is a four-storey, affordable housing complex with 26 self-contained units: 18 studios, 4 one- and 4 two-bedroom units. It was designed with the recognition that space shapes engagement between people. Our vision comes from our experience in creating intentional communities and the relationships we have with people in our neighbourhood. We built affordable housing that brings together people from different economic backgrounds in mutually transformative, supportive and nurturing environment that allows all people to flourish. Because of this, Co:Here is a building full of community meals, friendships with neighbours, and shared responsibility for the space.
