Homelessness Action Week

FSGV is opening doors for unhoused youth, 24/7/365

On any given night, more than 170 youth are experiencing homelessness in our community. This is more than a statistic from the latest Point-in-Time Homelessness Count in Greater Vancouver. These young people are our neighbours. Each of these youth deserve to be treated with dignity and compassion, to have their autonomy respected, and to have access to support that recognizes their unique needs.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT TODAY

At Directions Youth Services, young people can find that support—for both their immediate needs and for planning their next steps. In reality, that can mean a hot meal, a shower, and laundry, or help navigating housing, employment, and other resources.

Last year, youth came through the doors of the Directions Drop-In Centre in downtown Vancouver nearly 23,000 times.

This Homelessness Action Week, our goal is to raise $100,000 to sustain critical programs and 1:1 support at Directions—so that every youth in our community gets the help they need in a crisis.

Thanks to Amazon, your donation will be matched up to a total of $50,000, doubling the impact of your gift.

Supporting youth across FSGV

Directions is just one way that FSGV supports young people across the Lower Mainland. 33% of clients across all FSGV programs are children and youth, 24 and under. With us, youth can access supports such as financial coaching, trauma counselling, and more.
