We will begin with a land acknowledgement.

We have looked at the causes of homelessness, heard voices from the community, and explored the current statistics in BC and across the country.  How can we solve homelessness?

The Housing First policy is a comprehensive solution to homelessness that takes into consideration all the causes, limits barriers to accessing housing, and places the individual at the center of the plan.  Let’s watch this introductory video.

In OneNote you have an activity to complete where you will learn more about the 5 guiding principles of Housing First.
