Current Community Plan on Homelessness
and Community Consultation Process
Through the Community Plan, EJPCOH
coordinates community initiatives to address the priority
low-income, special and transitional housing needs of Edmonton. In
addition, EJPCOH works to prevent the at-risk groups from becoming
homeless. The Edmonton Joint Planning Committee on Housing has
produced two Community Plans and an Interim Community Plan since
2000.
The
Edmonton Community Plan on Housing
and Support Services 2005-2009 provides
a five-year $435 million plan to advance efforts to address homelessness
and affordable housing issues in
Edmonton from 2005 – 2009.
The current Community Plan is based on a “continuum of support” concept
that focuses on the needs of the homeless and helps them to move
to self-sufficiency.
The Community Plan was created with extensive community input and
was endorsed by the City of Edmonton, Province of Alberta and Government
of Canada.
