About Bob Lee & Michael Audain

BOB & MICHAEL'S STORY

"Bob & Michael's Place was built with the vision of uplifting our community, by developing infrastructure around the needs of those who live and work in this neighbourhood. It took a whole community of volunteers, donors and supporters—people who truly care—to realize our vision. We believe this will be the gold standard of social housing we call 'community housing'."

Chair, Vancouver Chinatown Foundation
