Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities
First United Church offers a real solution to homelessness
In a recent news release, the BC Ministry of Housing and Social Development indicated the government will continue funding the three Vancouver Heat Shelters, including funding 200 spaces at First United Church
in the Downtown Eastside at 320 East Hastings Street. First United has been called
“home” by up to 300 homeless people nightly for the last year. To read more click on this link for the on-line Vancouver Observer: http://ow.ly/1CBzh
