Housing Should Be Home: Perspectives of Youth Who Use(d) Drugs On Housing and Homelessness in Vancouver 

This report explores what “home” and stability mean for young people who use drugs and experience homelessness in Vancouver. Drawing on ethnographic and community-based research with street-involved youth, it reveals how current policies shape their housing experiences and offers practical recommendations to guide more effective, youth-centered housing programs and policy responses.

This research was made possible through funding from Making the Shift Youth Homelessness Social Innovation Lab.
