Join us for a 90 minute informative walking tour of historic Hogan's Alley.
Hogan’s Alley Society (HAS) is a Black-led non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the social, political, economic, and cultural well-being of people of African descent in Metro Vancouver.
Our work centers on three strategic pillars: culturally informed housing, nonprofit housing development, and community engagement.
Our mission is to promote the well-being of African descent communities, envisioning a society free from racism, with a community hub as a catalyst for enrichment and belonging. We lead in developing Afrocentric, affordable housing, particularly through our Hogan's Alley Block initiative, grounded in one of Canada's few Black-led Community Land Trusts, to ensure long-term affordability and prevent further displacement.
