The Greater Vancouver Regional Steering Committee on Homelessness (RSCH) is a coalition of community organizations and all levels of government.
Our Vision
To eliminate homelessness in Greater Vancouver through the full implementation of the Regional Homelessness Plan: Three Ways to Home.
Our Mission
To inspire and lead a co-ordinated response to homelessness in the region.
In January 2009, the Government of Canada renewed funding for the Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS) to March 31, 2011. Metro Vancouver’s portion of this funding is approximately $8 million a year. The RSCH is responsible for recommending Metro area projects to the Government of Canada for this funding.
The RSCH is contractually responsible to its funding partners; however, just as importantly, the Committee is accountable to those it serves: people who are homeless or “at risk”, those working directly to respond to homelessness, and the wider community.
The work of the RSCH is carried out by working groups and subcommittees.
