Urban Family Preservation - Vancouver

We support urban families living off reserve, residing in the Lower Mainland, to have access to preventative supports, advocacy, and assistance with Jordan’s Principle requests, as well as cultural support through the Roots Worker.

The Urban Family Preservation Program’s most important mission is to keep families together. Living life off reserve can be lonely, isolating and difficult for families. Our program offers help to urban members to thrive and have the supports they need, while living off reserve from their home communities.
