AHA MEDIA films Protest Action at BC Housing in Burnaby to SAVE New Fountain Shelter in Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES)
BC Housing has announced that funding will not be continued beyond April 30th, after which time the New Fountain Shelter would be forced to close, putting people back on the streets!
A bit about the New Fountain Shelter:
Opened at Christmas in 2008, the New Fountain Shelter, funded for only 27 beds, regularly sleeps close to 40 people night after night. In addition to providing a temporary shelter for Vancouver’s homeless the New Fountain has connected over 300 people to safe, permanent housing and works hard toconnect people to the medical and social services they need.
You can make a difference by emailing or phoning the mayor of Vancouver, the provincial government, BC Housing, or your federal government representative and tell them you feel housing for the homeless is important and necessary.
Below are 120 photos and 13 videos of Protest Action at the BC Housing office in Burnaby to SAVE New Fountain Shelter in Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES) on Wednesday April 20, 2011
