Hey Neighbour Collective and United Way BC’s Seniors Housing Working Group are excited to be co-hosting a three-part webinar series on building social connection in housing.

The second webinar in the series, The Benefits of Being an Enabling Host, will be on April 14th, from 11am – 1pm PDT. 

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.

Moderator: Michelle Hoar
