Indigenous leader David Wells: 'We know it takes time to build housing, but we know we need more of it.'
The evidence for Bradley Cunliffe is too strong to suggest the number of homeless people living in the Metro Vancouver region is on a downward trend.
“Just before that tree line,” he said. “I just followed the Minnekhada [Park] trail and kept going. The cougars kind of scared me. But other than that, it was great. I liked it quite a lot, actually.” The goal is to gather new data on the homeless population, an exercise that hasn’t been done since the pandemic was declared in 2020.
Residential schools This time around, volunteers will ask Indigenous peoples whether they are residential school survivors or have a connection to the country’s dark period — important information that David Wells said helps strengthen the push for more Indigenous-led housing and services. 'A big and daunting task' Lorraine Copas is the executive director for the Social Planning and Research Council of B.C. and chairperson of the Metro Vancouver community advisory board for Reaching Home, which is a group of organizations working to try to end homelessness.
In Vancouver, for example, volunteers in the 2011 count recorded a population of 1,581. In 2020, that increased to 2,095, despite thousands of units of supportive housing, social housing, modular housing and shelters added to the city’s housing stock.
