Every day PHS Community Services Society provides supportive housing, healthcare, harm reduction and health promotion for thousands of vulnerable people that desperately need our help in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and Victoria. Founded in 1993, we are a charitable non-profit that manages more than 1,900 units of supportive housing and shelter and are internationally renowned for pioneering low-barrier housing and harm reduction.

Insite, North America’s first supervised injection site, has operated safely for 20 years with not a single overdose death. We offer ground-breaking medical-grade alternatives to street drugs through our prescribed supply programs.

Our essential, low-barrier community services include medical care, affordable dentistry, a credit union branch (in partnership with Vancity), a managed alcohol program, and a food program providing 2,200 meals daily. Our collaboration with Culture Saves Lives allows us to offer services to inner-city Indigenous communities.

Interested in supporting us or have questions? Please feel free to reach out to us. We’d love to hear from you.
