Homelessness Action Plan

Developing the Plan:

In October 2015, the City established a task force to develop, in collaboration with the community, a homelessness action plan that builds on the momentum created by past and current initiatives to address housing priorities identified by the community and formalizes the City’s commitment to collaborating with community stakeholders and senior government funders to prevent homelessness, wherever possible, or otherwise ensure it is a rare, brief, and non-recurring experience. This plan will be used to increase coordination amongst agencies in the community and to leverage funding from senior levels of government to prevent homelessness in Chilliwack, by ensuring a variety of affordable housing options for low income households and those who are having trouble making ends meet, and are at risk of homelessness. See attached Homelessness Action Plan Background Report.
