[Webinar Series] Housing that Connects Us: The Benefits of Being an Enabling Host
Hey Neighbour Collective and United Way BC (through their Seniors Housing Working Group) are co-hosting a webinar series between now and summer.
THE BENEFITS OF BEING AN ENABLING HOST
Tuesday, April 14th | 11am - 1pm PT
Join us to hear from community-based organizations that deliver in-building programming designed to foster neighbourly connections, strengthen social resilience, and support residents’ sense of belonging throughout different stages of life, helping residents age in place. Learn how these programs help create welcoming, engaged multi-unit housing communities where people feel connected and supported.
We’ll also hear from rental housing operators who are acting as enabling hosts: partnering with community-based organizations and supporting social programming to build mutual support and shared benefits for both residents and landlords.
This 2-hour webinar will be participatory, allowing attendees to discuss their own work and experiences and take part in facilitated discussions with our presenters.
