BAY-Cash is Young Adult-powered meaning the YAs we partner with get to voice their needs and shape their solutions. Our model is driven by their voices and designed to tackle youth homelessness head-on. Learn more about our Intervention Theory of Change and discover why our approach is a game-changer. We would love to hear your thoughts!

💡🏡 Communities are making progress by working differently. They define success by whether homelessness across their entire geography is being reduced, not whether individual programs are performing well. Local nonprofit and government agency staff work as a team toward the single goal of reducing homelessness. They know — by name and in real time — all those experiencing homelessness. This clear, comprehensive view allows them to see quickly what policies and investments are leading to success and to focus on what works. #HomelessnessIsSolvable Learn more: https://bit.ly/3WD6gSc.

🏠 This Giving Tuesday, help us make a difference! Every day, the Housing Resource Line (HRL) answers calls from individuals and families facing the unimaginable—eviction, homelessness, and housing insecurity. Over the past year, the HRL has successfully connected more than 170 Richmond residents to over $250,000 in financial assistance, providing hope and stability when it’s needed the most. But we can’t do it alone. This Giving Tuesday, we’re aiming to raise $10,000 to ensure no call for help goes unanswered. Every dollar you give makes a difference: it provides the resources, guidance, and support to keep our community housed. 💡 Your Impact: $25 provides resource referrals for one family. $50 supports personalized housing stability plans. $100 connects residents to emergency financial assistance. Join us today to create a future where everyone has a place to call home. Together, we can make housing stability a reality for all. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e_-NJ58Z ❤️ Every gift counts. Let’s make this Giving Tuesday unforgettable. #GivingTuesday #SupportHRL #AffordableHousing

Collective action can lead to change. We’ve seen proof of it right here at FIRST UNITED. Just last week, the government announced proposed amendments to the Residential Tenancy Act—addressing many of the issues and some of the suggested solutions outlined in our law reform platform. We consider this a win, not just for FIRST but for the one million people who rent homes across BC! But this couldn’t have been done without the hundreds of people who shared their eviction stories for our BC Eviction Mapping research. Or the hundreds of people who signed our petition to the Housing Minister. Or the donors who made this work possible. A small action by multiple individuals can make a great impact! Will you be part of making a change? Join us and hundreds of others by making a gift to support our life-saving programs this April. Give today at https://lnkd.in/g2-tN8ZB. We need to raise $50,000 by April 25 for our life-saving programs. Will you help us reach our goal? Click the link to see our progress. #DTES #CollectiveAction #BCEvictionMap
