Project Description

Building on the findings of our Metro Vancouver Housing Solutions Lab report, Hogan’s Alley Society (HAS) will convene a cohort of Black-led, Black-focused, Black-serving (B3) organizations to build housing advocacy capacity and inform broader provincial housing policy changes that impact Black communities. Throughout the learning process, the cohort members will build on their understanding and practice of systems change work, while supporting the creation of a BC Black Housing Council. By engaging cohort members in the same focus area, our aim is to develop collaborative systems change efforts and strengthen Black communities through practical application.

The primary goal of this cohort learning project is to build Black leadership in housing through increased advocacy capacity and policy changes. HAS aims to achieve these goals through coordinated efforts and expanding the network of Black voices in housing advocacy.

The BC Black Housing Council will work with government, housing-sector, and community partners to develop a BC Black Housing Strategy and advocate for its implementation.

Scope of Role

Hogan’s Alley Society is seeking a collaborative, organized,



and strategic Project Manager to lead the implementation of a provincial Black housing leadership and cohort learning initiative. This initiative will convene Black-led, Black-focused and Black-serving (B3) organizations from across British Columbia to strengthen housing advocacy, build collective leadership, and support the development of a BC Black Housing Council and a future BC Black Housing Strategy.

The Project Manager will oversee all aspects of project implementation, including cohort recruitment, learning design, facilitation coordination, relationship management, project administration, evaluation, communications, and knowledge mobilization. Working closely with the Executive Director, staff team, consultants, and participating organizations, the Project Manager will help create a collaborative learning environment grounded in Afrocentric values, trauma-informed practice, and systems change.

In addition to delivering the cohort learning initiative, the Project Manager will play a leadership role in supporting the establishment of the BC Black Housing Council. Working alongside cohort members, community partners, and Hogan’s Alley Society leadership, the Project Manager will facilitate the collaborative development of the Council’s vision, governance model, operating framework, and long-term sustainability strategy to ensure it continues beyond the life of the project.
