City posts survey for housing and homelessness plan

Jun 17, 2019 | 4:14 PM

The City of Red Deer is inviting residents to complete a survey about housing and homelessness in Red Deer.

Driven by a Council Ad Hoc Committee, the overall goal of the The City’s Community Housing & Homelessness Integrated Plan (CHHIP) is to develop a strategic and innovative housing plan that will help achieve the community’s housing goals.

“Everyone needs a place to live, and the work we’re doing today with the CHHIP will guide housing and homelessness planning now and in the future,” said Tricia Hercina, Manager of Social Planning with the City of Red Deer. “This is a community plan, and will focus on the full non-market housing spectrum.”

The survey at reddeer.ca/surveys is open to the public until July 5. Officials say it should take no more than 15 minutes to complete.

In addition to the survey, The City will host a series of community conversations that will be advertised as they become available.

“We are asking for the community’s help with identifying current housing and homelessness needs within Red Deer, and ideas to address those needs in our communities by completing our survey,” said Hercina. “This valuable input will help us ensure this community plan is truly reflective of the community’s needs.”
