L’Abri en Ville is guided by a working Board of Directors, an Advisory Council, an Executive Director and Coordinators.

The members of the board are drawn from various sectors of the community, providing a knowledgeable and compassionate base for decision-making. The fact that many of its members are also apartment volunteers, and that two residents are members, makes the board very sensitive to the needs of the residents. The working board meets often to keep abreast of developments through reports from coordinators and standing committees, to consider new ideas, and to assure financial security (see L’Abri en Ville’s Annual Reports).
