Project Overview
CitySpaces was hired by the City of Surrey to develop a Homelessness Prevention And Response Plan. The aim of the Plan is to create clear pathways from homelessness to stable, permanent housing options. Within the housing network, the Plan concentrates on non-market housing and spaces, including shelters, transitional and supportive housing, and independent non-market rental housing, to ensure diverse housing options are available for people experiencing, or at-risk of, homelessness.
Key Highlights
The Surrey Homelessness Plan builds upon the foundation established by the Strategic Approach to the Surrey Homelessness Prevention + Response Plan, reaffirming the City’s commitment to lead as a champion in this area. The Plan’s development involved extensive engagement, including feedback from an Advisory Committee comprising non-profit organizations providing homelessness services and supportive housing in Surrey.
The Plan outlines nine guiding principles, seven goals, and 60 actions organized across four key areas of implementation: Policy, Process, Partnership, and Support.
