The purpose of this research was to investigate the supply of, and demand for, affordable and accessible housing in the Upper Fraser Valley; to identify existing resources and gaps relating to its provision; and to identify innovative opportunities and community-based solutions. The research was conducted from April to December, 2005. The study focused on the communities of the Upper Fraser Valley: the cities of Abbotsford and Chilliwack, and the Districts of Mission, Kent and Hope; with input from as far east as Boston Bar and North Bend. This report considers a comprehensive range, or continuum, of housing and support services designed to help the homeless move out of the cycle of homelessness and prevent those "at risk" from becoming homeless. The continuum includes emergency shelter and safe houses, transitional housing, supportive housing and independent housing.
