Partner testimonials

Partners work with BC Housing to promote the Rental Assistance Program to their staff, volunteers and clients. The testimonials below have been submitted from five of the major organizations in the Rental Assistance community partnership program as part of a current media sponsored supplement in the Vancouver Sun and Province newspapers November 17-21, 2008:

 
 
Family Services of Greater Vancouver

“When we connect a family to the Rental Assistance Program, we help them get one step closer to being ready to deal with the root causes of their emotional issues at an early stage,” said Teri Nicholas, Executive Director, Family Services of Greater Vancouver.

The Greater Vancouver Food Bank

“Our mission is to provide food and related assistance to those in need; it’s important for us to look at the larger picture and examine what factors contribute to hunger,” said Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society (GVFBS) Chief Executive Officer Cheryl Prepchuk. “The need for safe, affordable housing is among a number of key variables required by people who are in food lines. By telling our clients about the Rental Assistance Program, we can help them in more ways than simply feeding them.”

S.U.C.C.E.S.S

“At S.U.C.C.E.S.S., our mission is to help new Canadians integrate into our multicultural society,” said Chief Executive Officer Tung Chan. “Next to learning English and finding a job, housing is a key factor in ensuring that newcomers settle in well. We have a very tight housing market and it’s important that new Canadians understand what housing services are available, which is why we’re partnering with BC Housing to promote its Rental Assistance Program for low-income working families.”

The Salvation Army

“People come to The Salvation Army for many reasons and we want to be able to help them as much as possible,” said Major Brian Venables, Divisional Secretary for Public Relations & Development. “Affordable housing is a major concern to many British Columbians and we see the Province’s Rental Assistance Program as a positive way to make this more accessible for low-income working families.”

YWCA

“The YWCA Vancouver is dedicated to improving the lives of women, with a special focus on supporting single mothers,” said CEO Janet Austin. “Affordable housing is fundamental to their success. The Rental Assistance Program allows them to supplement their income and thus afford their rent. The program is an important element in a housing strategy and we are pleased to be partnering with BC Housing to promote it to our clients.”
