Greater Victoria organizations open doors for Homelessness Action Week

,

October 13 to 19 is Homelessness Action Week. On Oct 17 learn more about the organizations and service providers working together to end homelessness at the Homelessness Action Week Open House.

When the city wakens and businesses open, many of the homeless who sleep on the streets and in shelters disperse among a network of service providers. It might be a simple breakfast at Our Place, a visit to the library or community centre, an employment program or legal advice centre.
