Last summer, the former Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Group got a new name and an expanded scope when they became the Tri-Cities Homelessness & Housing Task Group. The change reflects their growing focus on housing affordable to low and moderate income households.

We held the "Tri-Cities All-Candidates Briefing Session on Homelessness & Affordable Housing" for the Tri Cities candidates on Saturday. 38 candidates attended.

Please see the attachments 'Briefing Session Handout' and 'Core Housing Need Chart' for more information.

In partnership with Port Coquitlam Community Policing, SD43, PLEA, NCFD, SHARE, Rotary of Port Coquitlam, Poco Parks and Rec, POCOMO Youth Services Society, and Children of the Street, we are all working together to raise community awareness and connect with youth regarding drug and alcohol addiction.
