Our Impact

Neighbourhood Houses offer a profound impact – providing comfort, belonging, and renewed purpose. By reducing isolation and fostering resilience, we transform lives. Volunteering emerges as a powerful force, empowering those who have received support to give back and uplift others.

Neighbourhood houses don’t just strengthen communities—we create them, enriching every life they touch and weaving the fabric of a more connected, compassionate society.

“In the most difficult moments, they have been there to help me, to encourage me and to save me (literally). They share all the resources that help me… I have not been alone because those heroes without a cape manage to be when I need it most.”

ANHBC in Numbers

ANHBC offers a wide range of programs and services and have over 800 employees. We are a network of 8 neighbourhood houses and 1 outdoor center that spans across the lower mainland.

Where does ANHBC Funding come from?

Most of our funding comes from all three levels of government, and we are grateful for their essential support. We also receive grants, donations, and fundraising contributions from community organizations and individual supporters. Together, these partners make it possible for us to continue delivering the meaningful programs and services our neighbourhoods rely on.
