Together with BCAAFC, BC Poverty Reduction Coalition, and Carnegie Community Action Project, we sent a letter this morning urging immediate action to address the threat of #COVID19 for people who are unhoused and inadequately housed in British Columbia.

We call on BC and Vancouver officials to urgently exercise their respective authorities in full, pursuant to emergency legislation, to rapidly house every BC resident without housing.
