Mission Statement
Hearts Against Homelessness provides support for youth struggling with housing through physical and monetary donations, and advocates for proper education surrounding the topic of the housing crisis. We aim to reduce the stigma surrounding housing issues for youth, so they are able to receive the aid they need in order to thrive. Our team focuses on building genuine connections with youth, and educating communities on the housing problems youth face.
Description
Hearts Against Homelessness was founded because of a high school student who found herself without a safe place to live halfway through her secondary education. She had never been educated on the resources available to her, and was forced into multiple unsafe housing situations before she made her way to a shelter that offered her support and community. We work so that one day, no youth will be left to their own devices like she was. Our education and awareness programs work to teach youth in high school about what may cause homelessness, and the services around them that can help should they ever need it. We also make monthly distributions of necessities to communities in the British Columbia Lower Mainland to help make living a little bit easier for those not currently in shelters.
