Housing + Homelessness Assessments + Strategies

CitySpaces is at the forefront of housing and homelessness research and policy development.

This includes needs assessments, best practice and ‘how-to’ guides, housing and homelessness strategies and action plans, and program reviews. Our work spans the housing continuum, from emergency shelters and supportive housing to affordable homeownership programs. 

Policy + Strategy Backed by Development Expertise

As owner’s representatives for non-profit organizations across British Columbia and the North, we have supported the development of new affordable housing, gaining firsthand insight into the policy and regulatory barriers that impact non-market projects. This practical experience gives us a strong foundation for conducting housing research and policy development, grounded in a deep understanding of the real-world development landscape.
