Hey Neighbour Collective helps to create the conditions for these long-term outcomes:
A measurable increase in social connectedness and resiliency amongst residents of multiunit buildings in BC’s urban communities, leading to improved health and well-being.
Positive transformation of the ways in which multi-unit buildings are engaged, managed and designed, in order to foster more socially connected, vibrant, and resilient communities.
Shifting attitudes, beliefs and values about the desirability of living in multi-unit housing – where multi-unit housing is seen as a “home” rather than a temporary place of residence.
