VSMS Programs
We work together with seniors living in the downtown south and the downtown eastside to build and strengthen our community by developing a healthy community spirit that enables seniors to help themselves, and one another.

VSMS works to improve the lives of seniors living in SRA (Single Room Accommodation) units by establishing social support systems, run by the seniors themselves.

The Seniors Centre is a drop-in facility that provides a safe, friendly “living room” environment for seniors coming together to dine (at a nominal
fee), relax, play games, and access informational resources that are central to their quality of life.

The Vancouver Second Mile Society operates three outreach programs:

1. The Neighbourhood Helpers Project - Downtown Eastside(NHP-DE)

2. The Neighbourhood Helpers Project - Downtown South (NHP-DS)

3. The Neighbourhood Helpers Chinese Outreach Program (NHCOP)

Our mandate is to improve the quality of life for seniors and people with disabilities living in SRO (single room occupancy) hotels, rooming houses and low-income housing.
