Foundation helps fund homeless housing

The Victoria Foundation has provided $125,000 in funding to Streets to Homes to ensure the program can continue to operate at full capacity.

The Victoria Foundation has given $125,000 in bridge funding to Pacifica Housing and the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness to allow the Streets to Homes program to continue operating. Streets to Homes was faced with a “significant [funding] shortfall.” Karyn French, executive director of Pacifica Housing, said the funding enables the groups to continue operating the program until it becomes eligible for new United Way funding in April.
