Support for low-income Veterans experiencing homelessness or near-homelessness
It is estimated that 10% of the homeless population in British Columbia served with the Canadian Armed Forces or RCMP.
We believe that one homeless Veteran is one too many!
The Legion Foundation BC/Yukon has recently launched the Veteran Homelessness Program. This program can provide support to low-income Veterans across BC and the Yukon, including:
- Rent supplements
- Utility payments
- Rental arrears
- Rental deposit assistance
- Wraparound support referrals
- Assistance with locating housing (whenever possible)
To learn more about this program, including how Veterans in need can apply, please email us at vhp@legionbcyukonfoundation.ca.
