We coordinate urgent exits, escorted retrievals, and resettlements with police escorts, pet relocation, and interpretation as needed, partnering with businesses for trucks and storage to handle everything from apartments to family homes. Through transit ads, community outreach, and corporate partnerships, Shelter Movers Vancouver raises awareness of free moving support, recruits hundreds of volunteers, and integrates services with multicultural agencies to lower barriers for survivors of all backgrounds.
Moving Impact
We’ve relocated over 1,000 survivors since 2018, providing free, trauma-informed moves in a region strained by shelter shortages and high domestic violence rates. Our volunteers deliver safe transitions across Vancouver, preserving belongings and dignity amid B.C.'s housing crisis.
Help survivors of gender-based violence take their first step to safety.
Your gift today is an investment in Shelter Movers’ work to help survivors leave a life of abuse.
