The Youth Homeless Count represents a comprehensive snapshot of youth who are homeless in the Metro Vancouver region and has three main goals:

• To collect accurate data on the number of youth who are homeless in the region to assist government agencies and organizations in responding with appropriate policies and services.
• To understand the causes and conditions that lead to youth homelessness in the region.
• To raise awareness of the incidence and issues of youth homelessness and demonstrate the need for enhanced government support and solutions.

If you are currently without a home, you can connect with youth service providers in your community to get counted – call 778.945.2161 for more information.
