BC Government COVID-19 response must provide shelter for the homeless and vulnerable.

The Issue

We all must do our part to self-isolate and limit the spread of COVID-19.  But some of us can’t. The homeless have nowhere to go to protect themselves or the rest of the population from spreading COVID-19. Many resource centres are shut and services are being disrupted and changed in this difficult time.

We are calling on the BC and Canadian governments to take all measures necessary including requisitioning hotels and motels to help communities across the province to house every homeless community member immediately and provide them a safe, isolated, space so that every citizen can do their part to defeat this pandemic.
