The following list contains the shelters in British
Columbia that receive funding from the Emergency Shelter Program
(ESP). The shelters are organized alphabetically by
community. The ESP shelter provider list is updated
quarterly. It was last updated in September 2008.
Please note that emergency shelters may be listed
under more than one program if it receives funding from multiple
sources. For example, a new shelter might receive funding to help
build new shelters under the Provincial Homelessness
Initiative and receive operational funding under the Emergency
Shelter Program.
