Paid Work in BC’s Non-Profit Housing Sector

A new Housing Match website has been launched to pair people laid off due to the COVID-19 outbreak and non-profit housing organizations requiring staff to provide essential services.

Thanks to the BC Non-Profit Housing Association, Vancity and catalyst Community Developments, this initiative comes at the right time for many residents and communities.

People are encouraged to apply even if they do not have experience in the non-profit housing sector as training and education opportunities are available.
