What we’re asking
Every year, from March to early May 2023, the Homelessness Services Association of BC conducts Point-in-Time Homeless Count across BC.
This year, the program will be expanded to cover the UBC Vancouver Point Grey campus. UBC Campus Security and UBC Sprouts — a 100% volunteer and student-run organization at UBC, along with volunteers from across the university will be taking part in this program to collect details about the experiences and demographics of people who are experiencing homelessness. In previous years, the organization was unable to conduct this count at UBC due to the large area of land and limited volunteers available.
Please help share in your channels as appropriate. Thank you!

While there is an urgency for action, the Counts provide communities and all levels of government with information they can rely on to make informed, compassionate, and swift decisions that support pathways out of homelessness.
If you would like to take part in this the Point-in-Time Homeless count at UBC, please ‘SIGN UP HERE’ before March 8, 2023. Thank you for your involvement and support.
