Report of the committee on homeless men

The file consists of a letter to J.E. Vaz of the Jewish Federation in Montreal, written by J. Howard T. Falk, Executive Director of the Vancouver Council of Social Agencies, dated August 1, 1932. The letter includes an 8 page report of the committee on homeless men dated July 1932. The report, which includes a survey of Vancouver agencies providing assistance to homeless men, also makes recommendations in the area of local and national policy. This report was one of many copies sent to cities and agencies across Canada to encourage support for the recommendations contained within and to ask that these agencies take their suggestions directly to the Prime Minister of Canada.
