Our Story

A Place to Come Home To

The Society to End Homelessness in Burnaby was established in 2017 by the multi-stakeholder Burnaby Task Force on Homeless (formed in 2005) to build sustainability and provide leadership in the reduction and resolution of homelessness in Burnaby.
The Society works to support individuals experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness in Burnaby. Since the beginning of the global pandemic, we now service 150% more guests at our Outreach Resource Centres.

Services We Offer

Outreach Resource Centres

A "One-Stop Shop" of services for our vulnerable neighbours so they can easily access basic life necessities and resources for social aid in one convenient location. Our 2 locations operate weekly Wednesday and Thursday in Burnaby.

Burnaby Neighbourhood Pantry

Mobile Shower Program

We offer our guests biweekly access to the basic necessity of a hot shower in an effort to combat the negative stigma of poor hygiene amongst those experiencing homelessness. Guests are provided with fresh towels, clothing, and hygiene supplies.

Extreme Weather Response

EWR makes safe spaces available when the weather is severe enough to pose a higher health risk to people who experience homelessness. It operates during times of extreme heat or cold. These collaborative initiatives bring the wider community together to reduce the harm to the most vulnerable. Our cold weather service provider is Lookout Housing and Health Society.
