The Elizabeth Fry Society of Greater Vancouver is a charitable organization that supports some of society’s most vulnerable populations – women, girls and children at risk, involved in or affected by the justice system. Our more than two dozen programs work to break the cycle of poverty, addiction, mental illness, homelessness and crime.

At EFry, we believe every life has value. All people are entitled to dignity and respect. And everyone has a right to belong. For 85 years, that has been our legacy. And our promise.

Having a safe, stable place to call home is the foundation on which healthy lives are built. It has always been an area of struggle for many of our clients, whether they are transitioning back to the community from prison, escaping a challenging living environment, dealing with substance use or mental health needs, or experiencing homelessness.

With the opening of our Rosewood building in Surrey last year, EFry added affordable, permanent housing to our offerings. We also opened our largest shelter in Surrey to provide inclusive and culturally safe transitional housing for women and children.

Our Rosewood and Anna Buxton Apartments are operated by EFry as women centered affordable housing featuring a mix of studio, 1-bedroom, and 2 bedroom suites. Learn more about our application process for our Rosewood and Anna Buxton unit availabilities.
