Introduction

Background

On March 1, 2009 the Victoria Steering Committee on Homelessness (VSCH) and the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness (Coalition) merged. As the VSCH acted in the capacity of the Community Advisory Body (CAB) under previous iterations of the Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS) program, the responsibilities of the CAB under the HPS were transferred to the Coalition as governed by the Leadership Council (LC).

Since March 1, 2009, the Coalition has held the distinction of acting as the CAB under the HPS program and has the responsibility to develop a Community Plan to provide assistance with the distribution of funds through the Capital Regional District (CRD) in its role as the Community Entity (CE).
