PAL Vancouver provides affordable rental housing for low to moderate-income households. We primarily serve seniors (55+) and people with disabilities from Metro Vancouver's professional performing arts industry who can live independently.
To ensure that affordable homes go to those who need them the most, income and occupancy restrictions apply.
