Opened in 1977 and reopened after renovations in March 2015, Powell Place was the first women-only shelter in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

The Bloom Group’s Powell Place is a low-barrier and culturally appropriate shelter for all self-identified women, regardless of race and religion. Our staff often have lived experience and are trauma-informed to assist with complex challenges resulting from violence, abuse, poverty, mental illness and addiction. Our innovative, strengths-based approach encourages women to make their own choices and supports them as they reach toward their goals.

Help us provide a safe place for women and guide them on their journey to self-fulfillment.

As we usher in fall, we say goodbye to the lazy, hazy days of summer and summer BBQ’s. Residents at The Bloom Group’s Nicholson Tower recently enjoyed the last of the summer BBQ’s. The warm weather, good food and fun games brought a good turnout and a lot of smiles. This was a chance for the residents and staff to get together and relax in Nicholson’s garden.

According to Dennis, a four-year resident of Nicholson Tower, “It’s not a place that makes a place, it’s the people”.
