Without us...

In the past 15 years, Vancouver homelessness has remained relatively stable compared to U.S. West Coast cities. Streetohome and its partners invest in supportive housing to keep Vancouver's homelessness numbers from growing rapidly while seeking solutions to improve outcomes.

Supportive Housing

One of many pathways out of homelessness

EXPAND

Streetohome has partnered with the Province and the City of Vancouver, along with a host of non-profit service providers to develop 344 homes for women and children, 644 homes for persons living with problematic substance use and/or mental health challenges, 123 homes for Indigenous people, 76 homes for youth, and 110 homes for persons living with HIV/AIDS. Each site is operated by a non-profit housing provider and tenant support workers are on-site 24/7. We continue to refine and develop our knowledge blueprint by adhering to best practices in homelessness prevention and supportive housing. This ensures improved tenant outcomes, optimal return on investment, and good stewardship of the generous contributions made by our donors.

Uphold

Our approach is not to build shelters, but to provide a place people can call a home. A place where people can feel stable, safe, and supported. We identify vulnerabilities and gaps where people can fall into homelessness, especially children so that they don't experience the burden of homelessness that can follow them for the rest of their lives. The effect on our communities is severe and long-lasting. So as communities, we try to motivate their involvement, spurring people and their local governments into action to ensure that their most vulnerable have the opportunity to become part of the fabric of vibrant, sustainable communities.
