Hogan’s Alley Society acknowledges that we work and organize on the ancestral and unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations.

The Hogan’s Alley Society (HAS) is a Vancouver-based nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the social, political, economic, and cultural wellbeing of people of African descent through the delivery of inclusive housing, built spaces, and culturally informed programming. Hogan’s Alley Society has been a leading advocate for the Black community in Metro Vancouver, addressing the legacies of urban renewal, residential displacement, and erasure from Vancouver’s historical narrative.

Our vision is to own and operate the built environment on the historic site ofthe nucleus of the Blackcommunityin Vancouver, recreating a hub for the Black community through the development of the Hogan’s Alley Block, rooted inthe Hogan’s Alley Society Community Land Trust.

In September 2022, HAS signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Vancouver toenter intoalong-termlease for the 898 Main Street block (Hogan’s Alley Block) upon the removal of the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts. This development will include a Black cultural center, affordable housing, small business spaces, and childcare facilities, addressing historical harm caused by past displacement policies. This initiative is one of thefew Black-led Community Land Trusts in Canada, ensuring long-term affordability and preventing further displacement of Black communities.
