Under One Roof is a community centre which provides housing, health and hope for those struggling with poverty, housing insecurity, health and mental health needs. Also included is a full scale food recovery program allowing for an on site 'pay as you can' grocery store where all are welcome. An on site 'Open Door Clinic' works to provide individualized health and wellness for those dealing with medical, mental health and substance use issues. Under One Roof was built in 2020 in collaboration with BC Housing and the District of Squamish and was also supported and funded by the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation as well as Target Homes (Dave Ransier and Grant Gillies). Under One Roof was built in response to the growing national housing crisis and further, to aid in the fight against the toxic drug crisis which continues to kill thousands of British Columbians year after year. The facility, Under One Roof, operated by Squamish Helping Hands Society, is located in Squamish, British Columbia, Canada.
