📰 This week’s article in the Coast Reporter, Just Ask: Do I need to keep my BC Housing application up to date?

If you’re on the BC Housing Registry, you must update your application every six months to stay active. Missing an update can put your file on hold — or remove it entirely.

Need help checking your status, updating your file or starting your application? The Resource Centre can assist.

📱💻 Do you have an old device in good working order?
An unused phone, laptop, tablet, or other device could make a huge difference in someone’s life. ❤️

Through our Computer Kindness Program, donated devices are given a second life by being distributed to community members who need them to:
✨ Access essential services
✨ Return to school or job training
✨ Stay connected with family and friends

Your unused tech could help someone reconnect, learn, and thrive. Consider donating today! ♻️

💫 A huge thank you to our amazing Community Volunteer Income Tax Program volunteers! 🙌💙

Because of your time, care, and expertise, community members receive free support to file their taxes — but the impact goes far beyond tax returns 📄✨

This service helps people access important benefits, credits, and subsidies they may not otherwise receive. It reduces barriers, increases financial stability, and helps people get the supports they’re entitled to!💰🏡

Every return completed is more than a form — it’s access and opportunity 🌟

📰This week's Just Ask article in the Coast Reporter: Aging in Place – Getting Accurate Information

The BC Seniors Advocate listens to older adults across BC and reports on gaps in services to highlight the real challenges seniors face. While they don’t provide direct supports, their work helps identify what needs to change so seniors can age safely and independently.

💡 Join us for Aging in Place, a panel discussion featuring the BC Seniors Advocate and local service providers from across the Sunshine Coast. Learn what supports are available, where gaps exist, and how to better navigate local services.

📍 June 9 | 2–4pm | Harmony Hall, Gibsons

A message from our leadership team ✨

The Resource Centre is growing — and so is our vision for how we support the Sunshine Coast.

More and more community members are turning to us for connection, navigation, and advocacy. As needs continue to shift, we’re strengthening our foundation and preparing for an exciting evolution in how we show up for the Coast.

We’ll be sharing more about what’s ahead next month. We’re grateful to serve this community and grow alongside it. 🌱
