Questions about the 
Homeless Outreach Program
can be directed to webeditor@bchousing.org .
 
Individuals sleeping on the streets are especially vulnerable. BC Housing works in consultation with community-based agencies to reach out to individuals who find themselves homeless. This program is client-centered as it connects homeless people to housing, income assistance, and community-based social and health services in over 49 communities across British Columbia. Outreach workers undertake a wide range of support activities:

  • Address immediate physical and safety needs, such as food, warm clothing and a place to stay;
  • Connect people with housing and income support, including making and accompanying them to appointments;
  • Provide links to other support services, such as life skills training, personal health, household and financial management;
  • Act as a landlord liaison.
Expansion of the program to break the cycle of homelessness  has included:

  • Providing $1.2 million in rent supplements to assist the homeless in the private market.
