The Russell Outreach
The Russell Housing Outreach team connects with people in New West who are homeless or at high risk to become homeless. We connect people with services and support that reflect positive change in their current situation (housing, advocacy, substance use, mental health, food banks, IA, EI, CPP, etc). Christmas time is very hard on this vulnerable population as most are all alone, so the suicide rates spike during this time.Donations are a simple way to have direct impact in the life of someone who is homeless and alone as it validates them and makes them see that someone cares.
Cliff Block
The Cliff Block provides 16 units of minimal barrier, supportive housing in Downtown New Westminster for high risk homeless men and women having few, if any, housing alternatives. Donations are a simple way to have direct impact in the life of someone who is homeless.
