Through their Eyes

"A Journey of Homelessness in Surrey" was a community-based project created inside Hyland House Newton Homeless Shelter through Options Community Services and funded by SPARK BC.

This project is a photojournal of a few residents at Hyland Shelter and their perspective of Homelessness. Clients were given a digital camera and attended several workshops resulting in the collaborative selection of photos and layout before being sent off to be bound. Through their Eyes is a unique perspective from the clients as they convey what homelessness has been for them, and what they would like the community to know.

The Homeless (and those at risk of being homeless) within Surrey face a very unique and difficult daily life. Their lived realities are only understood by those involved and often not among the general public.
