Our Impact

The rising cost of living continues to drive demand for our services.

At least 25 percent of households in Squamish are in the risky position of paying more than 30 percent of their income towards housing each month. Our recent Point in Time Homeless Count in April 2025 found that 53 percent of the 125 homeless people in Squamish had lost their housing due to lack of income.

Food bank visits have risen by 10 percent in the last year, and our landfill is nearing capacity.

With food prices up 27% and housing costs up 29% in three years, access to affordable essentials is more critical than ever. Our community hub provides vital support and our services are filling gaps for people in need.

In 2025, we were able to provide:

• 20,347 nights for vulnerable people in transitional housing and emergency shelter beds
• 23,305 free showers and 10,950 loads of laundry
• 102,818 kilograms of rescued food repurposed into 71,863 meals
• 10,754 unique visits (individuals & families) to food bank with average of 896 unique visitors/month (10 percent increase since 2024)
• 927 appointments and 34 clinics (vaccine, STI, footcare, and barber) for 350 unique patients at our primary care clinic
• 155 critical incidents at Under One Roof and the OPS (23 percent decrease since 2024)

Every connection we make brings us closer to a healthier, more equitable community.
