The Bloom Group Community Services Society

The Bloom Group Community Services Society We support the most vulnerable through the provision of housing, health and social services. We must find solutions to end poverty and homelessness.

The Bloom Group responds to the most urgent needs of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. We embrace transformative solutions for resolving pressing and complex challenges. We fill the gaps in areas that are critical to building a resilient community. Since 1961, The Bloom Group has led many of our community’s most progressive social services to reduce homelessness, provide end-of-life care for individu

als with mental health challenges and addictions, ensure women-led families in crisis can stay together as they rebuild their lives, provide financial management for at-risk seniors, and much more. Our ‘low-barrier’ services are inclusive and available to all individuals in need, regardless of their circumstances, and without conditions. Our broad and positive impact is a reflection of our staff’s hard work and dedication. Our services meet the immediate needs of individuals, while systematically building a foundation that strengthens community sustainability. We put ideas into practice, implementing innovative, yet practical and scalable initiatives that redefine possibilities and catalyze long-lasting change. We collaborate with a wide circle of partners to share expertise and resources and affect broad change that would not be possible in isolation. The Bloom Group encourages spirited and passionate conversation about our programs and services across our social media platforms. We do not tolerate hatred, bullying, racist, misogynistic or homophobic comments.

Black History Month is a time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of black people throughout history. It is also a time to reflect on the struggles and challenges faced by black people throughout the world.

Here in Vancouver, “Hogan’s Alley” was a neighbourhood located in Strathcona of those of African-American descent who worked as railway porters.

This closely-knit neighbourhood was home to various Black cultural institutions including “chicken house” restaurants, steakhouses, and the African Methodist Episcopal Fountain Chapel.

By the 1960s, most of the Black population had left the area and integrated into the general population before the city began expropriations of area lots.

Today, Horgan’s Ally is reduced to the southern portion of Chinatown, but the legacy still lives on as various Black History Month committees, the Black Cultural Association, and the Horgan’s Alley Memorial Project succeeded in keeping the memory alive.

Take this month to educate yourself and others about black history and culture. Visit Horgan’s Alley and learn about its rich history. Share what you learned with a family member or friend.
