youth pathways report
The Youth Pathways report engaged directly with youth experiencing homelessness to determine the pathways in and out of homelessness in the region. The report outlines both the pathways in to homelessness and the pathways out. Some of the pathways out of homelessness are a direct result of suggestions made by the youth participants.

book a speaker

Need a speaker for an upcoming event? Book a Speaker from the Coalition's Speakers Bureau!


 
The Speakers Bureau is a group of individuals who have experienced homelessness and want to share their story. Through funding provided by the United Way, the Coalition has provided training for these individuals to speak publicly about their personal experiences - putting a face to homelessness. Our speakers address a variety of issues from mental illness, addiction, domestic violence, disability issues, and unemployment. In addition to the problems surrounding homelessness in Greater Victoria, our speakers will also discuss the solutions and their personal successes.
