Whereas homelessness is a complex and multifaceted challenge that affects communities across BC; And whereas the lack of a coordinated regional strategy and insufficient resources worsen this issue, leaving many vulnerable populations without adequate housing, and shelter, and as a result, many are forced to leave their home communities to seek these basic services that are available in other communities: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM advocate to the provincial government to coordinate a regional approach to homelessness by increasing funding and resources to support housing, and shelter initiatives across the province, and support initiatives fostering collaboration among local governments, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, housing authorities, and community members to ensure effective coordination, resource allocation, and holistic support for the unhoused population.
