This report includes the findings from a survey that LSU! members wrote and distributed to members of the DTES Community in 2020. The survey included a variety of topics, from healthcare, housing, and harm reduction. The survey was a way to check in on our neighbours and see what challenges they were facing. From this information we are hoping to get a better understanding of those who make up our neighborhood and the community. The questions were shaped by the participants of LSU! initiatives.

In order to gain a deeper understanding of the lives of Chinese seniors in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, especially in the Chinatown and Strathcona area, the Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood House carried out this project which was funded by the Chinatown Legacy Stewardship Group.

The project conducted a research study to collect up-to-date data on the living conditions and support networks of Chinese seniors within the Chinatown and Strathcona areas.
