URBAN SURVIVAL GUIDE & THE BEST OF (HOMELESS) VANCOUVER
What is this?
Who
What
What
We are an ever changing group of individuals with our own personal lived experiences of homelessness in Vancouver, British Columbia.
We recognize that even the best governments, non-profits and institutions don't always know what's best for us.
We are open to everyone who has ever had no f***ing clue where they were going to sleep at night in this cold wet city.
What
What
What
We come together on a regular basis to talk about what we are seeing in our own lives, and find ways to help support each other and the communities we belong to.
We use the skills and resources we have available to make life better for each other and for our communities.
We brainstorm.
We decide.
We figure out how to do it.
We act.

When you're struggling for survival, it's easy to forget that you're not the only one facing the challenges you're up against.
You aren't alone.
We believe that people who have direct lived experience of something are the best qualified to find solutions.
We can't fix everything ourselves, but we can fix some of it together.
