The 2023 Homeless Count in Greater Vancouver took place on the ancestral, traditional and unceded Indigenous land, including the territories of the xʷməθkʷəyəm (Musqueam), Sḵwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), səlilwətaʔɬ (TsleilWaututh), Stó:lō, kʷikʷəƛəm (Kwikwetlem), scəwaθən məsteyəxʷ (Tsawwassen), qicəy (Katzie), qʷɑ:nƛən (Kwantlen), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), and SEMYOME (Semiahmoo) Nations. They have been custodians of this land for thousands of years and we would like to pay our respect to the elders and knowledge keepers both past and present. The count is a community-driven initiative of the Reaching Home Designated and Indigenous Community Entity, Lu’ma Native Housing Society, in partnership with Vancity Community Foundation together with the Greater Vancouver Community Advisory Board and the Indigenous Homelessness Steering Committee as well as community groups, individuals, and agencies who work with individuals experiencing homelessness across the region.
