Get Informed

  • The first step toward making a difference is getting informed: the Coalition's work relies on community advocates who recognize and work to dispel the myths about homelessness, and who understand the challenges and best practices associated with providing safe, adequate housing for everyone in our region. Below and to the left you'll find a list of resources available to make getting informed easier!


    Background Info about Homelessness
    See this section for
    definitions, myth-busting, and information about the root causes of homelessness in Greater Victoria. Coming soon: printable handouts for educational purposes.

    Coalition Publications
    All Coalition reports (annual reports, the Greater Victoria Report on Housing and Supports etc.) are available for download, along with a newsletter archive.

    In the News
    Here you can find
    News Articles and the Coalition’s own News Releases.

    External Resources

    Getting Help

    The Coalition is also happy to have a representative give a talk about homelessness to a meeting of your book club, service club, knitting circle, strata council, class, or other community group/club. For more information and to engage a speaker, contact Maggie Kerr-Southin at
