Edward Boe is among a growing number of seniors who have reached out to Mission Possible , a Downtown Eastside non-profit, for help in rejoining the workforce.

Boe was previously employed as a security guard in the film industry, but the work dried up after COVID-19 and the SAG-AFTRA and writers union strikes in 2023 .

According to the 2023 Vancouver Homeless Count, 21 per cent are seniors, and nearly half of those are facing homelessness for the first time.
