Mavis McMullen Housing Society

The Mavis McMullen Housing Society was incorporated in 1987, to provide safe housing with a sense of community through mutual support. This commitment started at the very beginning of the development of our first building. Mavis McMullen Place, opened its doors in 1988 with 34 suites providing housing for 55 tenants. The tenants were comprised of 75% elder women and 25% single mothers. Our second building, Haley Place opened in December 1995 with its focus being more on single mothers. Haley Place provided our Mavis McMullen Place residents with the opportunity to move out of the Downtown Eastside.
