About Hogan's Alley Society

Hogan’s Alley Society is a Vancouver-based non-profit dedicated to advancing the social, political, economic, and cultural well-being of people of African descent (Black people). We do this through inclusive housing, community programs, and public education. Our work also focuses on restoring and celebrating the Black presence in Vancouver and addressing the impacts of displacement and systemic racism.

About Nora Hendrix Place (NHP)

Nora Hendrix Place is a 52-unit temporary modular supportive housing facility located in the heart of Hogan’s Alley Block. Purpose‑built to support Black and Indigenous individuals at risk of homelessness, the building offers safe, stable, and culturally attuned housing. Each unit is self‑contained and includes a private bathroom and kitchen, with at least 10% of units designed to be fully wheelchair accessible.

Since opening in 2019, Nora Hendrix Place has served as an important community resource within Hogan’s Alley. Hogan’s Alley Society (HAS) operates the building and its programs as the culturally informed housing provider for the site. HAS is committed to delivering holistic, community‑centered supports that prioritize resident wellbeing, dignity, and connection.

As part of this work, HAS is expanding its staffing complement and strengthening on‑site services to better meet the needs of residents and the surrounding community. This approach aligns with the organization’s broader vision for Hogan’s Alley Block, building a values‑based model that uplifts racialized communities, restores cultural belonging, and advances economic, social, and political equity through community‑led city‑building.
