Aboriginal Coalition to End Homelessness

Lovingly providing Culturally Supportive Housing and services to end Indigenous homelessness Safety of the Indigenous Street Community is our top priority.

The purpose of this page is to build community and connections amongst the Indigenous Street Family. The page was created in 2016, in response to the voices of the community who wanted an Indigenous space online to reconnect with family and friends. Any comments or questions that are not aligned with this priority will be deleted and responded to via direct message. The Aboriginal Coalition to End

Homelessness (ACEH) works collaboratively with the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness to create a culturally-specific approach to Aboriginal (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) homelessness on the traditional Coast Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth and Kwakwaka’wakw territories. Evan James designed our logo (pictured top-right); a representation of our work, symbolized by the Coast Salish Big House. The four posts of the Big House are the foundation and the strategies that guide us:

- Housing & Shelter
- Governance, Policy & Resources
- Community-Building
- Support Services

ACEH is an island-wide coalition that creates a space for the voices of Aboriginal community members who are experiencing homelessness. We are committed to ending Aboriginal homelessness on our traditional territories.
