A census from Canadian streets to determine the big picture of the scope and nature of Veterans' homelessness.
A Fresh
Perspective
-
VETS Canada is seeking to identify the number
and location of homeless/at-risk veterans across Canada, including
indigenous, LGBTQ2, and women veterans.
-
VETS Canada will offer tailored support such
as temporary accommodations, housing assistance, eviction prevention,
food/clothing, and transportation.
-
The veterans will also be connected with
Veterans Affairs Canada for potential benefits.
-
Our volunteers will visit shelters, soup
kitchens, food banks, and tent cities to verify the service of each
identified veteran.
-
The program aims to provide accurate data on
the number of homeless/at-risk veterans and improve their access to support services.
