Streetohome’s overarching goal is to leverage a comprehensive system response intended to ensure that homelessness in Vancouver is prevented whenever possible and, when homelessness can’t be prevented, to ensure that the experience is least harmful, brief and non-recurring. To this end, Streetohome strives to broker the integration of evidence-based and promising practices that address gaps in the current system to meet the housing, addiction, education and employment needs of vulnerable individuals that are homeless, at-risk of homelessness, or have lived experience of homelessness.
The Streetohome Board and Board Committees are comprised of community leaders from the private, public and non-profit sectors. There are over 80 volunteers behind Streetohome’s success.

Since 2008, Streetohome has contributed capital towards the construction of over 1300 units in 23 buildings across Vancouver that provide homes to over 3,344 individuals including children, youth, single adults, couples, families and seniors.
Streetohome believes in addressing the root causes of homelessness, so individuals don’t have to suffer the harsh reality of homelessness, and if they do become homeless, that the experience is as brief and least harmful as possible.
