Project Inclusion: Confronting Anti-Homeless and Anti-Substance User Stigma in British Columbia 

Stigma disqualifies people and groups from social acceptance and social equity. Stigma is powerful because it is not always easy to quantify. By shedding light on the experiences and voices of people who are told that they don’t matter because their lives and identities are stigmatized, Project Inclusion makes stigma visible. The project aims to address stigma’s root causes by offering analysis of how laws and policies in BC are both shaped by stigma and serve to perpetuate it. This report offers that analysis alongside actionable recommendations for change.
