The Crises Response Pilot Project
In November 2023, New Westminster City Council approved a two-year organizational pilot project and strategy to address the overlapping crises of being unhoused, navigating mental health and/or navigating addiction. The pilot has a number of goals it is looking to achieve, though the ultimate aim is to transition responsibility to senior levels of government.
There are three inter-departmental staff teams involved in the pilot, and they include:
- CRT Outreach
- The Operations Support Team
- The Policy Development and Advocacy Team
We invite you to learn more about the work being done through the pilot by visiting the Crises Response Project page.
