Home for Less Expo

There are 8,000 to 15,000 homeless citizens currently residing in our province according to a study by Simon Fraser University. This number is considerably up from the 2005 Homeless Count. Every night, a large percentage of homeless citizens have no place to go and end up sleeping outside with little or no protection from harsh natural conditions and social environment.

British Columbians spend the least per person on subsidized housing in Canada (1), which results in a disproportion of supply and demand.
