Housing and Homelessness

The City administers funding from the federal and provincial governments for affordable housing and homelessness. This involves:

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.
