Hey Neighbour Collective

Using a collective impact approach, Hey Neighbour Collective (HNC) brings together housing providers, non-profits, researchers, local and regional governments, housing associations and health authorities. Together with residents of multi-unit housing, our mission is to experiment with and learn about ways of alleviating loneliness and social isolation while building capacity for neighbourly support and mutual aid. Interns will gain experience in professional program evaluation and be able to compare this approach to research to a more academic social science research approach. The intensive social component of these internships will also offer valuable network-growing benefits to the intern within the expanding domain of the urban housing professional sector in BC.
