Shelter List

We have updated the Shelter List to be accessed through this webpage; shelter information is no longer available in PDF format. Use the map and filters below to find shelters by various criteria, or the search box to find particular shelters by name.

The Shelter List assists people who are affected by homelessness in the Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley regional districts, as well as in Greater Victoria. We understand that a wide range of circumstances can result in homelessness so we provide information on a variety of programs and services.

The Shelter List details available shelter beds and mats for women, men, youth and families. The list is updated Monday to Friday (excluding stats) twice a day at 11:30 am and 7:30 pm.

Call 2-1-1 or text 2-1-1 to find available shelter beds and services in the Lower Mainland and Victoria.
