We serve hundreds of people in the #DTES every day, providing survival essentials that get them through the day so that they can eventually get back on their feet. We need to raise $50k by April 25th and have just $15k left. Chip in now to help the DTES: firstunited.ca/one-time-donat…

It's #NationalVolunteerWeek (April 14-20) and we want to say thank you to our wonderful volunteers! Thanks for sharing your time, skills, empathy and creativity to support FIRST UNITED's work for the #DTES.
We need to have a serious conversation about this. The ONLY thing this is achieving is hiding the messiness of being forced to live outdoors with all your belongings and no access to hygiene, privacy, or garbage disposal. Why is this our fully funded response to homelessness?

"What really counts is not what the federal government promises in funding but how quickly those commitments are rolled out to the non-market housing sector to become homes for people to feel safe, raise families, and thrive.” -Margaret Pfoh, AHMA CEO ➡️ ahma-bc.org/news-
We meet a lot of compassionate folks who ask, “What can I do to help the #DTES?” You can help today and make a tangible difference by making a donation to support our programs. Give today to provide essential services, community connection, and healing. firstunited.ca/one-time-donat…
30+ residents evicted in March. 4 have been housed, and 14 allowed to move back into the designated area. What about everyone else? #vanpoli #CRABpark
Collective action can lead to change. A small action by multiple individuals can make a great impact! Will you be part of making a change today? Join us and hundreds of others by making a gift to support our life-saving programs this April: firstunited.ca/one-time-donat… #DTES

“There was a single woman who showed up and was told she wasn’t on the list. She went to live under a bridge. This is what happens when people get turned away. People end up in increasingly precarious positions.”

In light of the 'cleanup' at CRAB Park, we have written to @CityofVancouver & @ParkBoard, urging them to adopt more compassionate approaches to encampments that are rooted in #publichealth principles. 📨 Read our open letter: tinyurl.com/UBCmeds4CRABpa… #futuredocsfordecenthousing

When we talk about belonging, we mean that we want our #DTES neighbours to feel safe & accepted when they access our programs. We have just $34k left to raise before April 25 so that we can keep our life-saving services running. Help us reach our goal: at firstunited.ca/one-time-donat….

Decriminalization has two main objectives: keep people with small amounts of illicit drugs out of the criminal justice system, and to reduce stigma around people who use drugs. There are wider ranging benefits to decriminalization. Educate yourselves. ccsa.ca/sites/default/…
I’m afraid your math is off @JohnRustad4BC - despite colonial rule for xxx years - today First Nations are still here and we are winning in the courts. Stop fear mongering. Divide and conquer is such a desperate play. Get on board #PaddleTogether it’s our home and native land 🧡
The Eby NDP is undermining YOUR private property rights. The Haida deal means First Nations title could end up being applied to ALL private property in BC… This is a mess. #bcpoli
This is vile and disgusting. Antisemitism has no place here, and no matter your position on the horrific events in Israel and Gaza, we should all stand together against these clear acts of antisemitism and hate. None of us are safe until all of us are safe.
This photo is from a bus shelter near @cityofcoquitlam city hall. The hate is real. Antisemitism is now normalized and out in the open in British Columbia. The time for words is over, we need action. 1/2
Being homeless is not a crime.⛺️ Displacing people from their communities, seizing and trashing survival gear and belongings is a crime against humanity. #endtheshelteringbylaw #displacementkills #HousingIsAHumanRight
Decriminalization is meant to get cops, courts & jails out of our lives. It is not meant to get us clean or solve all other problems in society. Remember when critics blamed homelessness (and everything else) on Insite? The right in BC wants to follow Oregon & RE-criminalize us.
#Budget2024 is a step forward on non-market housing, financialization & encampments. There must be transparent, human rights-based oversight of this funding so that it makes measurable progress to end inadequate housing & homelessness. Statement ➡️ bit.ly/447kVag
Great to see federal leadership to "solve the housing crisis" through Canada's Housing Plan w/ significant investments in #Budget2024. Some measures address affordability & renters' rights, but the plan disproportionately focuses on supply. Our take ⬇️ housingrightscanada.com/canada-has-a-n…
