What has the City done to address homelessness?

Along with efforts to address mental health and substance use, the City is also addressing homelessness through its Crises Response Pilot Project. We invite you to learn more about the pilot by visiting this webpage.

The nightly shelter with 50-bed capacity continues to operate in Downtown New Westminster. The City was successful in receiving a grant through the Social Planning and Research Council fund in order to assist with ongoing operating costs. Further grant opportunities through the Strengthening Communities fund are being explored.
