About this service
Our Housing Support Workers teach youth to find appropriate accommodation options. We help them search newspapers and websites, go with them to look at accommodations, and help them weigh the pros and cons of a place. Through our networks, we introduce young people to landlords and liaise with other service providers and housing registries. We even help them with the basics they need for a successful housing searchthings like a bus pass, clean clothing and reference lists.
Finding suitable accommodations for young people in Vancouver is extremely difficult. A recent survey by one of our Housing Workers revealed that of the 2,500 single-room occupancy hotels in Vancouver, only two spaces were available. And these were at a cost of $700/month, which is double the housing allowance provided by Income Assistance (IA).
Who can use it?
Young adults, youth 16-24 years old
