SUCCESS STORIES

I am very grateful for all the services and supports that you have given me. I hope you can help more people in the same situation I was in. Thank you is not enough for putting me back on the road. But thank you, anyways.
- Denis L.

I personally would like to thank this organization for helping myself and my dog to restart my life. Marcus especially helped me, found my apartment for me. M.J. also allowed me to come here after Yukon house. A truly good staff experience.
Sincerely, Jeff

Erik, a former client at the Yukon, stopped by the head office recently to drop of a thank you plant, and gave thanks to Lookout for being a part of his current success.

He stated that he is currently living at the Woodwards building and that he is working for the Olympics right now.

He did not want to leave a letter or note and just said if anyone asks let them know who it was from.

FROM THE DESK OF...

Karen O'Shannacery, E.D.
We all know there is a serious lack of affordable housing throughout Canada and especially in the lower mainland. This lack doesn't just affect the homeless men and women Lookout is always challenged to find decent housing for. It also effects families, youth, seniors, aboriginals, the ethnic community, the working poor, or simply young couples starting their career paths. But the people who are most vulnerable are the ones who feel the impact the most, and usually have the least voice.

Social Media is all the buzz. Facebook, Twitter, You Tube, Blogs, and MySpace lead the popularity poll. But what it's really about is communication. We -- the people in organizations and businesses and those of us who share a common interest no matter where we live -- want to connect with and interact with others who share that interest.
