A Study of Food Security Programs at Metro Vancouver Housing Corporation

Low-income British Columbians are unable to afford healthy food.1 Healthy diet and overall health and social outcomes are associated, making food insecurity a growing concern for affordable housing providers. Integration of food security programs into affordable housing are increasingly seen as a means of meeting the health and social needs of low-income households. Metro Vancouver Housing Corporation (MVHC) and BC Non-Profit Housing Association recently partnered to examine food security programming at selected MVHC sites.
