Our Resources Database is extensive! Take a look to locate programs and organizations that offer support to low-income Nanaimo residents.
We offer a virtual resource advisory service. If you wish to receive suggestions of resources for a specific situation or concern, please email povertyadvocacynanaimo@gmail.com.
We also provide access to a team of volunteer Client Navigators who can meet with clients to complete paper and online applications. For more details and a list of eligible applications, please visit our Programs page. To request a meeting with a Client Navigator, please email povertyadvocacynanaimo@gmail.com.
Our focus
Sometimes, it can feel like the programs and resources developed for low-income people are well-kept secrets. Supports that could make a significant difference to someone living in poverty are often not well publicized. If you are focused on surviving, you don’t have the bandwidth to search out these options.
Our passion is to break down obstacles preventing low-income Nanaimo residents from accessing supports that could improve their lives. We want to use this website, as well as our social media, to communicate about the wide variety of programs available.
