Message from Erin Harron, Director, Lower Mainland Non-Profit
While this last year has been challenging, it's been a privilege to work through it with this LMNP team. I continue to be inspired by the depth of knowledge, professionalism, and dedication every single team member brings to their work. No matter what comes our way, these awesome people will 'roll up their sleeves' and come together to support each other and find the path forward.
A Swift and Immediate Response to Rehousing Tenants from Silverlynn Fire
A fire that broke out in May at Silverlynn Apartments in North Vancouver tragically killed one senior resident and temporarily displaced 70 others from their homes, requiring many partners and providers to come together to support tenants and provide them with clothing, shelter and housing. The response was swift, immediate and effective, and can be seen as a success story that came from an unfortunate event. The Housing and Health Services team played a vital role in finding and offering units in our Directly Managed stock to the displaced tenants. The Lower Mainland Non-Profit team worked with partners in the area to find vacant units that could be offered.External organizational partners like North Shore Emergency Management also played a key role in this response. Collectively, these widespread efforts helped provide support to community members with diverse physical, social, and economic needs who were impacted by the fire.
