Foundations for Social Change (FSC) is a Vancouver-based charitable organization that develops innovative programs to help vulnerable populations in our communities. We seek solutions to ongoing social issues, such as homelessness, with a bold entrepreneurial mindset using data and evidence to evaluate our work and measure impact. Bound by our shared humanity, we stand for an inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to achieve their full potential. Our first initiative, titled the New Leaf project, is addressing the growing crisis in homelessness. In partnership with UBC, and as a global first, we carried out a social research project to study the effect that providing a $7,500 direct cash transfer can have for people who have recently become homeless.
