About Us

At Hannan’s Village of Hope, our story is rooted in resilience, hope, and an unshakable belief in the power of community. As cousins, we share a bond shaped by our Métis and Caribbean heritage—roots that carry the strength, wisdom, and perseverance of our ancestors, grounding us in a legacy of connection and care.

Our journey into this work is deeply personal. We grew up witnessing both the struggles and triumphs of parents who overcame addiction, giving us a profound understanding of the complexities of recovery and the courage it takes to rebuild a life. Our own paths were not without hardship. Experiences with mental health challenges, substance use, domestic violence, and loss could have defined us—but instead, they became the foundation of our purpose.

A turning point came when we began working as peer support workers within the homelessness response system. That experience changed our lives. In spaces shaped by survival, we encountered extraordinary people whose resilience, wisdom, and humanity left a lasting imprint on our hearts. It was there that our passion for community care was awakened—and where we came to understand both the strengths and the limitations of existing systems.

We felt called to do more than work within those systems. Guided by faith, lived experience, and a deep commitment to leading with love, Hannan’s Village of Hope was born—a vision to create something different. A place where people are not defined by their struggles, but supported in their healing. Where stories are honoured, dignity is restored, and hope is given space to grow.

Hannan’s Village is built on the belief that healing happens in relationship. By embracing lived experience, fostering belonging, and creating intentional community, we offer an environment where individuals can reconnect with their strengths and begin to envision a future beyond survival.

We dream of a world where every person—regardless of their past—is seen, heard, and valued. At Hannan’s Village, we don’t simply offer housing; we cultivate community. A place where resilience is celebrated, growth is nurtured, and stability is built at a human pace.

Together, we strive to honour the voices of those we serve, walking alongside them as they build pathways to stability, purpose, and empowerment. We are here not only to support transformation—but to be transformed by the incredible people we have the privilege to journey with.

Welcome to Hannan’s Village of Hope—where love leads, hope grows, and healing begins.
