COMING SOON:

October 11 to 18, 2025 – Homelessness Action Week in New Westminster.

Homelessness Action Week is our main event of the year, it provides an opportunity to:

  • Raise public awareness and understanding of the causes of homelessness, and the needs of the unhoused population, while challenging stigma toward the unhoused. 
  • Engage local organizations in planning and developing strategies to address homelessness.
  • Advocate for policy and resource changes across all levels of government to address needs and gaps related to homelessness, particularly in the area of shelter and housing, and enhance access to programs, services, and supports.
  • Facilitate important social connections and a sense of belonging for the unhoused.

We are currently working behind the scenes to put together another week full of activities.

NEW this year:

Voices in Action: Community Solutions to Homelessness

Voices in Action is the new headline event for Homelessness Action Week.  It will bring together people with lived and living experience, advocates and experts in addressing homelessness, local service providers, and community members to explore real solutions to homelessness. The event will feature powerful storytelling from the perspective of lived experience, engaging panel discussions, an interactive advocacy workshop, and opportunities to speak with local non-profits and government about the work they are doing to address the needs of the unhoused population in New Westminster and the larger region.  
This event creates space for connection, learning, and collective action. Enjoy Indigenous drumming, local entertainment, interactive activities, prize giveaways,  lunch from Dan’s Legacy, and light refreshments. Open to all!
