Hundreds gathered outside the Vancouver Art Gallery today to call upon all levels of government to implement and support a national housing strategy.

Signs that said “The People Say: Build Homes Now!,” “Homes Not Games,” and “End Poverty. It’s Not a Game” lined the steps of the Gallery as advocates spoke of the need for greater federal involvement in ensuring increased access to safe and affordable housing nationwide.
