South Vancouver Neighbourhood House (SVNH)

South Vancouver Neighbourhood House (SVNH) has been a cornerstone in the community since its founding in 1977. The organization's slogan, "Building Better Neighbourhoods Together Since 1977," reflects its commitment to connecting people and strengthening the neighbourhoods in South Vancouver. SVNH's mandate to develop harmonious relationships among community groups of different cultural, economic, religious, and social backgrounds is exemplified through its diverse range of programs and services. At present, SVNH offers a wide array of support, including Seniors' Wellness, Youth Leadership, Licensed Preschool and Out-of-School Care, Parenting and Family Resource Programs, Settlement Services for Newcomers, Food Security, Literacy, Adult Day Programs, and Community Engagement Events. The organization's impact is evident with nearly 3,000 individuals participating in its programs annually, supported by over 600 volunteers. Embedded in the community, SVNH is a member of the Association of Neighbourhood Houses of BC, providing services to the Sunset, Victoria-Fraserview, and Killarney-Champlain neighbourhoods from its location at Victoria Drive and 49th Avenue. Although specific information on recent investments and headquarters are not provided, SVNH's strong foundation, long-standing presence, and significant community impact make it a compelling candidate for investment from a social impact standpoint.
