Welcome to the John Howard Society of the Lower Mainland of BC

We assist people impacted by criminal justice so that they can reclaim their lives, making everyone safer.

The John Howard Society of the Lower Mainland is a non-profit charitable organization providing assistance with housing, life-skills, and community-based support with the goal of getting individuals released from prison or in conflict with the law to value their positive contributions to society. We advocate for just and humane punishment for crime and educate on the social, economic and personal costs of crime.
