Youth Housing Options Study

The Vancouver Youth Funders Committee (VYFC) is comprised of senior managers with the federal, provincial and city governments as well as major non-profit funders. The VYFC initiated a subcommittee to gather information on the status of youth housing in Vancouver. Funding for the Youth Housing Options Study was provided by BC Housing, the Vancouver Agreement, the City of Vancouver Housing Centre and Social Planning Department, Vancouver Coastal Health, and the BC Ministry of Children and Family Development.

The report (Downloadable PDF PDF, 602KB) provides options to address any gaps identified in the study. This study is a planning tool. It provides a context in which funders and service providers can assess their current housing services and begin to plan for the future.

We would like to thank the consulting team the many Vancouver agencies that provided their insights into youth housing in Vancouver, and the “best practice” agencies that participated. Finally, we acknowledge the work of the youth interviewers who worked diligently to find and interview homeless and at risk youth for this project
