On May 3rd, people around BC, from Prince George to Vancouver Island will be STANDing for housing. STANDs for Housing started in Vancouver over the closing of social housing in the Little Mountain neighbourhood of Vancouver. The Stands have spread around the province to reflect the growing crisis of homelessness and lack of affordable housing. For more information see the Community Advocates for Little Mountain (CALM) website.

PIVOT Legal Society, the Carnegie Community Action Project, and the Impact of the Olympics on Community Coalition have launched a complaint to the UN about the living conditions of residents in Vancouver's single room occupancy hotels. The formal complaint letter, facts of the complaint and supporting documentation is on the no place like home website.

Activists stood on various street corners in different areas of Vancouver to protest the provincial and federal governments' lack of initiative toward housing and homelessness. Watch a video about the Stand for Housing on HomelessNation, and find out more about future events to protest the lack of affordable housing on the websites of the City Wide Housing Coalition, the Save Low Income Housing Coalition, and the Lower Mainland Network for Affordable Housing.
