Introduction
Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society (ENFHS) is a charitable not-for-profit housing organization that began almost 40 years ago by three single mothers looking to create more affordable housing for families like theirs. We are committed to enhancing people’s lives, and particularly the lives of women, women-led households, and other equity groups, by creating communities that provide affordable, safe, and secure housing. We own and operate 409 units in eleven affordable rental housing complexes, providing affordable homes for over 1000 women, single parents, families, seniors, and people with disabilities in Vancouver, North Vancouver, and Surrey.
