Help for seniors, people with disabilities, and people without a stable phone in Victoria, BC. Our help line is free, and everything we do works from any phone.
Reachable makes help reachable. We run a free help line anyone can call from any phone, give people without a stable phone a permanent number that follows them, help seniors and people with disabilities claim the benefits they already qualify for, and build the technology Victoria's smallest nonprofits can't afford.
Reachable is new. Our phone numbers are coming soon. Until then, the forms on this website and our email work.
A free help line you can call from any phone, any time. An automated helper answers. It finds businesses and services, reads back hours and addresses slowly, answers common questions about benefits, and can ask a volunteer to call you back.
About the Reachable LineA phone number that is yours to keep. Calls ring whatever phone you have this week, or go to voicemail you can check from any phone. For people without a stable phone. It's $12 a year for a Canadian number, or $5 for a US one — and free if that is out of reach.
Get a Reachable NumberFind out which benefits you may already qualify for. Then a real person helps you apply. For people with disabilities, seniors, and the people who care for them.
Find benefitsFree websites, donation pages, volunteer sign-up, and paperwork automation for Victoria's smallest nonprofits. Built in 30 days, then handed over so you own it.
About Reachable TechWe write plain-language guides to the money and help people miss most often — the savings plan that pays $1,000 a year to people who cannot save, the tax credit that opens half the system, cheap internet, rent help, dentists, and getting around town.
Every figure is traced to the government page we read, and every guide tells you exactly what to say on the phone and what to do if you are told no.
Our vision: A Victoria where nobody is cut off from help by a phone, a website, or a form.
The Reachable Line is free. Call from any phone, any time of day.
