So as for all these not for profits down here, this is one is by far the best experience to date. They ran a awesome shelter down on Hornby Street a few years back and did an awesome job with that place. But I am how ever curious though if I and everyone else that tries to enter into any of these sro's why is it that we have to identify ourselves in order to gain access which we technically don't need still even under the new and updated tenant rights and supportive housing changes says that yes they may impose such restrictions of a person requiring to present some identification but it also to states that a person cannot be denied access to a place for the purpose of Soley not having id it has to be no id and other reasons as to why that person is being denied. If it's just cause they don't have valid id then they can't just deny them to visit cause if that being the only reason. Anyways sorry that's for another day but yeah if we have to identify ourselves when coming to visit anyone at any of these places then why do the so called staff on shift at the time, not have to be indentifiable to anyone, cause what if their help is needed but you can't tell if they are staff or tenant cause no name tags or work uniform or w.e to identify them as staff.is that not fair though. If we have to identify our selves then why wouldn't u have to identify yourself as staff when on shift. Just a thought that have been pondering for a lil bit.

Richmond has now been taken over by junkies, theft druggies and crime.

Repugnant organization. I stayed over at a friend's place one night and was woken to the sound of his neighbour and a hired goon beating the snot out of him. I helped him write a letter to RainCity and personally handed the letter to then manager Jane's, as my friend had been getting harassed by this neighbor for refusing "advances" made towards him. Absolutely nothing was done except for maybe James or one of his staff informing the neighbour of this letter, and calling my friend a "snitch" . Since then, that neighbour has harassed and played mental games with my friend that has been so intense, it has caused my friends mental wellbeing to be SEVERELY affected. The new manager of the building has decided the ndighboir us more relatable to herself (old and tored) and therefore has put a bullseye on my friend...making up stories so she could serve my friend an eviction notice. I am so disgusted bu the actions of this organization, as I an now worrying everyday whether my friend will pick up his phone or not. Where were you when one of your tenants was attacked, asked fir help and you did absolutely nothing. I will spend the rest of my existence informing and organizations or societies that hive you any funding that you have destroyed the mental well being, and perhaps even a kind soul. The admin of this organization only care about one thing.. and that us their salary and any underhanded payments they are receiving behind the scenes, and if you notice, most of the positive reviews are by their own employees.

I lived in one of their buildings in the DTES for seven years and for the most part I felt safe. Most staff are hard working and amazing. When I finally got clean and sober, the manager "N" got me out of there and was instrumental in getting me into clean and sober housing elsewhere out of the DTES Thank you Raincity Housing for all you do!

I Lived at RAIN CITY IN CHILLIWACK ON Yale rd ! For 4 years , the Manager Amy BAKONY IS EVIL , she threw me out Oct/6/23 she got me escorted out by the police her reason I’m too independent! I went to RTB AND I WON ORDER OF POSSESSION SHE WOULD NOT COMPLY !SHES IS NOT SUPPORTIVE WHAT SO EVER , she calls the shots she says makes her own rules! Any way I got a writ of possession and had to borrow 750$for a deposit for a Baliff next week she got denied for a review of consideration , the arbitrator called her a fraud and a LIER because she said I didn’t serve her , but I took pictures doing so , anyhow Rain city lies if you have lived there longer than a year you are able to go to RTB BECAUSE ITS LONG TERM HOUSING THEN , Any way she is not liked there by no one , she’s miserable and on a power trip ,she makes Rain city look bad !

This non profit employs/has volunteers that literally attack single moms online. Horrific abuse because she was low income & disabled. The very people this place is supposed to help. The company was notified. HR was supposed to follow up, after I sent the email to info line; not after the 2 messages I had already sent and they looked at and didn't even acknowledge. But after email...oh they acknowledged. Told me HR was going follow up.

That was days ago.

And still not even hey can I get the evidence you have?
