Housing & Homelessness

Homeless services platforms

Here's what the 2026 BC Provincial Election parties are promising.

BC NDP

  • Provide consistent funding for one existing and one new resource centre in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to allow homeless people to congregate indoors during the day

    "BC NDP candidates Amanda Burrows (Vancouver-Strathcona) and Terry Yung (Vancouver-Yaletown) today announced consistent funding for the Ashtrey Recovery Resource Centre, as well as funding for an additional centre in the Downtown Eastside, to allow people experiencing homelessness across the Downtown core a place to congregate indoors during the day." — bcndp.ca, retrieved 2026-10-13

    "The new day space centre, which will be located in the Downtown Eastside, will provide people who are experiencing homelessness or living in SROs across the downtown core a place to congregate during the day. Right now, people are able to stay in a shelter at night but have nowhere to go during the day, contributing to the very visible challenges we see on the streets downtown.

    When open, the centre will operate 12 hours per day, seven days per week so people have a place to go. It will be staffed by peer support workers, and will also provide on-site connections to primary healthcare, addictions treatment, and employment services."
