about

Our vision at Squamish Helping Hands is a safe and healthy community for all. Our mission is to support people in our community to inspire hope and independence.

As the only shelter from Lillooet to North Vancouver, we utilize a harm reduction, trauma-informed approach aligned with a housing-first strategy. Our mandate is to provide our programs and services of culturally aligned care in the areas of health and wellbeing, shelter and transitional housing, food security, and community outreach.

We operate out of Under One Roof (UOR) in Squamish BC, a community hub offering 40 units of supported housing, an emergency shelter, overdose prevention site, outreach services, a certified kitchen, a food bank, and a medical clinic that provides primary care to vulnerable people. We have over 64 staff and more than 120 volunteers.
