Tri-Cities Homelessness and Housing Task Group

Please help the TC Soroptimist's recognize the amazing, strong women in our community!

Thank you to the Maple Ridge Community Action Table for providing Feminine Hygiene products to 3030 Gordon Shelter and the TriCities Capacity Expansion Shelter! We love it when communities supoort each other!

Massive appreciation to Calvary Baptist Church, Coquitlam, BC., New View Society, and Trinity United Church for donating clothing to support the TriCitied Capacity Expansion Shelter. Our communities are amazing!

Please join the TCCAT for a Facebook live vigil to remember the lives of those lost to overdose. Greatest gratitude to the cities of Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam for supporting International Overdose Awareness Day by turning their cities purple to acknowledge the day. #endoverdose #endstigma #liveslost https://facebook.com/events/s/international-overdose-awarene/648205172771290/?ti=icl

An exceptional story of working together to make positive change. Well done!

The 2020 Homeless Count Preliminary report was released yesterday and can be found at https://www.vancitycommunityfoundation.ca//2020-homeless-c The Tri-CIties saw a 26% drop in numbers from the 2017 count. (117 in 2017 to 86 in 2020) What are your thoughts on the decrease in numbers? BC Non-Profit Housing Association

5 guests accepted support to get off the street in the first 3 weeks of operation. Proof that having a roof over your head is crucial to making needed changes. #housingfirst https://www.tricitynews.com//coquitlam-hotel-housing-homel

The Tri-Cities is the only community in the lower mainland that has not opened an ERC. We owe it to everyone in our communities to do something.

A great, big, spectacular shout-out to the City of Coquitlam - Municipality for recognizing that our homeless community members deserve dignified options to practice basic hygiene! They have graciously opened two park washrooms and placed four porta-potties in various locations. <3
