Ending Homelessness – What Works

On Friday October 9th, join Tyee journalist Monte Paulsen for an illustrated presentation that will survey the state of homelessness in British Columbia, review the history of homelessness in Vancouver, and explore strategies to end street homelessness across the province.

Monte has been investigating homelessness in Vancouver — its causes and its cures — for nearly three years.

"We can end homelessness in British Columbia, with measurable benefit to our public health and collective dignity, for less money than we are currently spending to maintain the homeless," says Monte.

Paulsen’s presentation is based on research supported by Tides Canada’s Social Justice Fund.

The free talk at the Museum of Vancouver kicks off the Fourth Homelessness Action Week in Metro Vancouver and BC  which happens October 11 – 17. 

Following the event, the Museum of Vancouver  will host an informal discussion and reception.

EVENT DETAILS:

When: Friday, October 9  7:00 pm

Where: Museum of Vancouver.  1100 Chestnut St., Vancouver  Map and directions 

Cost is free, but a donation to the food bank is encouraged.
