Young people throughout Greater Vancouver will have increased access to expanded, community-based mental-health and recovery programs.

Young people in Squamish and surrounding areas can access much-needed mental-health and substance-use supports as Foundry Sea to Sky begins providing services.

Murray Rankin, Attorney General and Minister Responsible for Housing, has issued the following statement in recognition of Homelessness Action Week, Oct. 9-15, 2022:

Government is committed to making British Columbia a safe harbour, welcoming those fleeing war and violence in their own countries and supporting the integration of all newcomers to B.C.

New rent supplements, transition workers and a no-limit earnings exemption will help youth from care make stronger transitions to adulthood.

Listening and learning from service providers, such as the Prince George Sexual Assault Centre, is part of work to develop a provincial action plan to help end gender-based violence, support survivors and promote healing, community awareness and prevention.

People experiencing or at risk of homelessness in Richmond are moving into new safe and secure homes with the opening of a 40-unit temporary supportive housing building.
