Abstract

This Esri story map is a Community-based Participatory Research (CBPR) project through UNESCO K4C Salish Sea Hub & the University of Victoria's (UVic) Geography Department. It was created in partnership with the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness (GVCEH), Island Health, and UVic instructors Ken Josephson and Dr. Crystal Tremblay. This story map is simultaneously a place of awareness and a call to action regarding houselessness and the importance of site-supportive transitional housing. We aim to have this map be a center point for resources, information, and stories. While our story is situated in Victoria, British Columbia, we hope the success of the Making Room: A Transitional Tiny Home Community will inspire other similar projects and help break the cycle of houselessness.
