The Village Model of Housing

Whereas the Province of British Columbia has yet to include the Village Model of housing in the Homes for People Action Plan as part of the housing continuum; And whereas the Village Model of housing has been replicated in communities across British Columbia and Canada as a proven, scalable strategy to rapidly meet the immediate shelter needs of the unhoused population including support services: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM urge the Province of BC to amend the Homes for People Action Plan to include the Village Model of housing as part of the housing continuum along with a mechanism to ensure this model receives regular and ongoing funding from BC Housing.
