Support Services Hom elessn ess August 22, 2013 Dear Mayors and Council Members: The Greater Vancouver Regional Steering Committee on Homelessness (RSCHL together with our community partners across the region, is pleased to announce Metro Vancouver's 8th Annual Homelessness Action Week (HAW), October 13 to 19, 2013. As declared in Australia in 2010, October 10th will continue to be World Homelessness Action Day, with over 50 countries participating in awareness events. Many other municipalities in British Columbia continue to support Homelessness Action Week, and for the past five years the Government of British Columbia has declared Homelessness Action Week throughout the province. "Invisible Homelessness" has been chosen as the theme of the eighth annual HAW. In choosing this theme, the RSCH brings into focus people who are precariously housed that remain hidden from the public eye, but nonetheless require housing with support services. It includes people who couch surf or stay temporarily with family or friends, and who are at increased risk of ending up on the streets. Addressing invisible homelessness is necessary for preventing street homelessness. Tackling the issue requires a regional approach to understanding and meeting the needs of this vulnerable population. Accord ingly, public awareness is critical to mobiliz ing broader support for the solutions to invisible homelessness in our region. We are requesting that your municipality support HAW in 2013 by proclaiming the week of October 13 to 19, 2013 as Homelessness Action Week. Metro Vancouver's Homelessness Action Week provides an opportunity to: • Build community support for solutions to homelessness by raising public awareness and understanding of homelessness in the region with a strong emphasis on showcasing successes; • Organize Connect Events to engage and assist people who are homeless with programs and services, personal products such as hygiene kits and clothing, as well as make important social connections; and • Actively involve communities, the private sector, and service providers throughout Metro Vancouver in jointly planning and hosting events.
