INTRODUCTION TO HOMELESSNESS, ADVOCACY AND OUTREACH to the homelessHomelessness has become a very visible and disturbing burden to our culture. Our media, through print and broadcast images, show us on a fairly regular basis the extent of the homeless phenomenon. It seems incongruent that in one of the richest societies in the world we have people among us those that do not have a stable place to lay their head. As a culture, we feel a degree of guilt around this fact, and we generally find the whole thing unacceptable. Add to that, the apparent disturbing trend of a steady increase in the homeless population in the face a growing economy and a very positive employment environment. The questions which need to be answered are: why is the homeless phenomenon happening in the midst of all this affluence? And what can we do to address the homelessness in our communities? These reports on homelessness will attempt to look at the statistical data gathered during the course of a 6 month project, as well as, the anecdotal history and experience of some of the homeless in one part the lower mainland of British Columbia. The Hope for Freedom Outreach and Advocacy team for the Homeless would like to thank our sponsers for their generous support.![]() Acknowledgements:The following is a list of people and organizations that were instrumental in the overall success of the project on homelessness.
