SECTION I: GENERAL INFORMATION

Sooke Shelter Society was incorporated in August, 2018. Sooke Shelter is a grassroots charity working together to increase access to affordable housing for those with lower-income, to prevent and end homelessness in Sooke, BC.

We believe that safe, decent, affordable housing benefits the entire community – economically, socially, and environmentally.

Through advocacy, we raise awareness of the critical value of stable, affordable housing to people’s education, employment, health, and overall wellbeing.

As part of our community housing strategy we need a rights-based national housing strategy that is also adequately funded and is developed in consultation with all levels of government to ensure that everyone has the right to secure, adequate and affordable housing.

Sooke Shelter Society coordinates temporary outdoor shelter/survival kits for those experiencing homelessness, advocates housing first strategy, peer support, health supports, affordable housing for all, to prevent and end homelessness in the Greater Sooke Area.
