Homeward Bound: Olivia’s Story
17 years ago, Olivia moved to Vancouver with her partner, and had a happy, healthy son. A lot has happened since – her family has grown, and she recently separated from her partner. Six months ago, she received an eviction notice from her landlord, who wanted to renovate their home.

Becoming part of a community = Better outcomes for all
“I heard about Streetohome 12 years ago from friends who spoke highly of their work around housing and mental health. My wife, Heather, and I had led fundraising efforts for depression research at UBC, and my interest in that and Streetohome’s work aligned. The more time you spend with Streetohome, the greater the realization becomes that while mental health and/or substance use may be a component for some, for others – it is plain old bad luck,” says Lloyd Craig, Streetohome Board Co-Vice-Chair and former CEO, Coast Capital Savings.
