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.

We update this map between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday. We add temporary shelters between November and April, including Extreme Weather Response shelters during dangerously wet and cold weather.

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, staff will help you hook up with other options, including shelters not associated with us.

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.
