Grandview-Woodland Renters Action Group

Organizing for secure, accessible, affordable rental homes in East Vancouver

Grandview-Woodland is a neighbourhood that has been affordable for renters from diverse backgrounds to make their homes. However, this is changing as rising rents and lack of affordable housing options threaten to force many of us out of the neighbourhood we love; a neighbourhood that also provides a considerable portion of affordable rental stock within Vancouver as a whole.

“Affordable housing is a right, not a commodity.”
