capital campaign

On any given night in Vancouver approximately 3,700 adults, youth and children do not have a home to call their own. While 1,700 new units are under construction, our city still needs at least 2,000 new units to bridge the gap. To help break the cycle of homelessness, Streetohome Foundation has embarked on a $26.5 million fundraising campaign:

$20 million
• To create approximately 1,000 new, permanent supported housing units. Each building will focus on the needs of specific populations (i.e. families, youth and the chronically homeless).

The Province of British Columbia will provide additional capital funds and ongoing operational funding for each of these developments.

$6.5 million
• Other projects and developments along the housing continuum
• Community education and awareness
• Policy development, research and evaluation

Thanks to a very generous contribution of $5 million from Frank Giustra of the Radcliffe Foundation (and Capital Campaign Chair), construction began on the first development in December 2010.

Please visit our website again for details about other developments breaking ground later this year.

If you or someone you know would like to make a gift to the campaign, please contact the Campaign Office for more information.
