How We Could End Homelessness in the DTES
Walking Tour
The Carnegie Housing Project estimates that over 3500 people in Vancouver are homeless. Your hosts will lead a tour of Downtown Eastside sites that could be used to stop the loss of low-income housing, build new housing that low-income people can afford, or shelter people who have no housing in the meantime.
Be part of the conversation about important policy solutions, learn about the city's upcoming plan to gentrify the neighbourhood and how we can work to get our governments to end homelessness.

Townhall and Community Theatre
This is a town hall and community skit where you'll learn about the city's plan to gentrify the Downtown Eastside, what community members want that would actually improve the Downtown Eastside, how the current zoning keeps land values low and enables the social housing we need, and about the city's consultation report that documents community concerns about the gentrification plan.
Carnegie Housing Action Lunch
This is a weekly meeting hosted for residents of the DTES who are driven to fight for a compassionate, community-centred approach to ending houselessness in the DTES. We will talk about and plan actions to educate and agitate for changes in the housing system that prioritize good housing for those who are economically excluded in society, as well as identify emerging government policies that may interfere with that goal. If you have any questions, contact us via email.
