Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society

Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society (ENFHS) is a charitable not-for-profit housing organization committed to enhancing people’s lives by creating communities that provide affordable, safe and secure housing. We manage thirteen properties and provide over 500 affordable rental homes for women, families, seniors and people with disabilities in Burnaby, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Port Moody, Vancouver and Surrey. We are excited to open new buildings by 2027, where we will have 500 new affordable homes available for individuals and families in Port Moody and Vancouver.

Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society was founded in 1984 by three women who wanted to make life better for themselves and other single mothers and their children. “Entre Nous Femmes” in translation is “Amongst us Women,” which speaks not to the individual but about “us together” in the community – a philosophy we still follow today.

Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society respectfully acknowledges that we do our work on the traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples. Specifically, the Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, Semiahmoo, Katzie, Kwikwetlem, Kwantlen, and Qayqayt First Nations, and the ceded territory of the Tsawwassen First Nation. We are grateful for the use of their land.
