"The data, collected by United Way B.C. United for Housing during one night, Dec. 3, tallied 577 people in #Nanaimo who were #unsheltered, down from 621 counted in the 2024 report." #homelessness #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #BC @unitedwaybc.bsky.social nanaimobulletin.com/2026/03/26/n...

Join us on March 6th from 10-11:30am PST for the next Housing That Connects Us #webinar, co-hosted by @unitedwaybc.bsky.social. Speakers Stacy Barter, Jenny Konkin, & Claudine Matlo will highlight three examples of innovative community-driven programs operating across different housing types in BC.

Today we join others on a Day of Mourning in recognition of the tragedy in Tumbler Ridge. Words cannot express the profound feeling of loss for families and friends, or our intense empathy for a community that is coming together to provide support and love to one another.

As we mark #211Day and the critical support #211 provides to British Columbians every day, we also hold the Tumbler Ridge community in our hearts as they face an unimaginable loss. 📞 If you or someone you know needs help, text or call 2-1-1 or visit bc.211.ca.
