Seniors Homelessness in Richmond

Next Steps Should Council approve the recommendations in this report, the following next steps will be undertaken: • Write and submit the letters outlined to advocate for funding and services for Richmond; and • Submit requests for Council to meet with the Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs, Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction and the Minister of Health at the 2026 Union of BC Municipalities Conference. In addition analysis and evaluation will be conducted to further develop preliminary program model(s) for temporary emergency shelter or accommodation for seniors in Richmond as outlined including costs and operational considerations; engage the Richmond Community Homelessness Table, government and community service providers and faith-based organizations for input; and discuss Richmond-specific program model(s) to BC Housing and Vancouver Coastal Health for their input and engagement. While these activities are underway, staff will continue the work that is ongoing with individual seniors experiencing homelessness, collaborate with government and community service providers on system enhancements and, simultaneously, provide direct services and support to seniors experiencing homelessness in Richmond. Budgetary Implications The current next steps and potential program models do not contemplate municipal funding at this time and there are no budgetary implications related to this report.
