The new temporary supportive housing project does not have enough space for all of the people that are currently homeless in the community. What else is being done to address the need in the commun

We recognize the demand for housing exceeds the supply, so we are providing outreach workers with 40 additional rent supplements and funding a new shelter that will provide 20 new spaces every night over the winter months. BC Housing and partner agencies will be assisting in the transition and offering housing and shelter spaces to those living at the homeless camp who are willing to move and to others who are experiencing homelessness in Maple Ridge. 

We continue to focus on working with the City of Maple Ridge on expediting the development and construction of permanent supportive housing units in the community. 

We have seen numerous supportive housing projects open successfully across the province, bringing benefits to both the community and the residents and we hope to see that success continue in Maple Ridge.
