What our residents say

I like the feeling of care that comes from the management and the Board of Mavis. The women that live at Mavis, if they have problems, it seems like they get more personal attention from the management and Board than in other places.

Staff keep up the building. Out of all the housing that I’ve seen in the last number of years, anything connected with  BC Housing, Mavis is one of the best kept buildings of all of them. Because it’s well- kept it’s a healthier building.

Mavis McMullen Resident

Living at Mavis McMullen provided me with the opportunity to get my Masters and PhD while raising my daughter as a single mom — something I know I wouldn’t have been able to do without affordable, secure housing for us. It has also afforded me the space and security to transform a difficult coparenting relationship with her dad to a healthy, respectful and successful one.

Thanks to MMHS for giving me a home for all these years, a nice home, not a shack.

There is a real focus on building community within the building. It feels safe and children-friendly.
