A community-led initiative bringing together service providers, municipal partners, and lived experience voices to address homelessness in Parksville and Qualicum Beach.
Who We Are
The Oceanside Homeless Task Force brings together organizations, advocates, and community members working to understand and respond to homelessness and housing instability across the Oceanside region.
Full introduction coming soon — a plain-language overview of the Task Force, who it represents, and how it operates.
To coordinate a dignified, effective, and transparent community response to homelessness — identifying service gaps, strengthening collaboration, and moving practical solutions forward.
A short history of how the Task Force was formed, the local service gaps that prompted it, and the community need for a coordinated response in Oceanside.
What We Do
The Task Force convenes service providers, community members, municipal partners, health and housing organizations, outreach workers, and people with lived and living experience of homelessness.
Together we identify gaps, share information across sectors, and move practical solutions forward — with a commitment to public transparency and community accountability.
This section will expand to describe working groups, partner organizations, and how the Task Force operates on the ground in Oceanside.
