Raising the Roof

No one should be homeless in a country with Canada's resources. Yet, across the country, we are witnessing dramatic increases in the number of people with no place to call home.

The Homelessness Research Virtual Library

The Homelessness Research Virtual Library website was created in response to a call from stakeholders for easier access to homelessness research information.





The website fulfills this need by providing immediate access to past and current homelessness research documents from the province of British Columbia and the Yukon.
