Homeless to Sheltered with BC Housing
 

Over the past year, BC Housing has worked with the City of Victoria, local non-profits, the private sector and Island Health on a coordinated response to shelter more than 500 people experiencing homelessness in Victoria.

BC Housing is engaging with communities on the longer-term plans to help ensure that people are not forced back onto the streets. How can we work together to support everyone in our communities and foster economic recovery for small and mid-sized businesses?

Shayne will discuss recent initiatives including:

- BC Housing’s response to COVID-19

- Shelter to Housing Initiative in Victoria

- Community benefits of new housing

- Opportunities for the business community
