"The vision of Vancouver Resource Society is to develop and enhance programs and housing that support people to achieve and realize their values, goals and objectives." Quality independent living opportunities that are accessible, safe and affordable, are somewhat restricted for people with disabilities requiring care support. Since our inception in 1972, the Vancouver Resource Society has been a leader in this field, committed to developing innovative housing programs that allow people with disabilities the opportunity to integrate and live independently in the community. Meeting this basic need allows an individual to be more self-sufficient and generally take advantage of everything a healthy community has to offer including access to employment, education, and recreational opportunities. To this end, V.R.S. will continue to develop appropriate housing, provide trained staff, and be an ongoing resource for any individual with a disability that aspires to independent living. As of today, VRS has 18 homes in Greater Vancouver and units in three apartment buildings, providing housing and care services to some 150 people. We would like to thank everyone who has contributed both past and present, to the success of the Society. Vancouver Resource Society #310 - 2006 West 10th Ave., Vancouver, B.C.
