This map does not represent all the shelters in B.C. For example, the Shelter and Street Help Line shelter list from bc211 is another useful resource.

This map is updated during weekday business hours, including updating Extreme Weather Response shelters when communities issue or cancel an EWR alert.

Phone a shelter to find out how many beds are free and how late you can arrive. If a shelter doesn’t have a bed available, staff may help you find other options.

Women with children

This map includes women-only and family shelters. For women and their children fleeing violence, contact a transition house or safe home.
