Housing and Homelessness

- agreements with the other orders of government.
- preparing and administering requests for proposals when funding is available.
- providing administrative support to the Community Housing Advisory Board, which makes recommendations to City Council on funding decisions.
- preparation and monitoring of contracts to the organizations and developers in the community who implement and fund projects.

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.
The Experience of Homelessness in Red Deer
Many people are being housed successfully in Red Deer, but there is still work to be done.
