Coordinated Access
The coordinated access process (CAP) is a method of matching individuals experiencing chronic and episodic homelessness to a housing program that meets their needs.
Urban Encampments in Public Areas
Whether set up by persons experiencing homelessness or others in the community, makeshift camps in our parks and other green spaces pose a risk to health and safety for those who use them and for the community at large.
Point in Time Homeless Count
A coordinated event where volunteers count persons experiencing homelessness and ask them a number of questions to get a snapshot in time of those experiencing homelessness in the community.
Success Stories
Read personal success stories of those working in or being assisted by Red Deer’s housing system.
Youth Homelessness
Learn more about assessing youth homelessness in Red Deer.
CHAB
The Community Housing Advisory Board acts as an advisor to Council on affordable housing, homelessness, services/activities related to the goal of ending homelessness, and funding allocation within the community.
