The City of White Rock retained Terra Housing Consultants, in partnership with Cooper Planning and Development Consultants, to develop a draft Affordable Housing Strategy. The Terra Team focused on priority groups identified by the City, which included low-income households, the elderly, disabled and special needs persons, as well as the homeless.
The report was developed as two documents: a Background Study, which provided the local context and highlighted municipal tools in addressing affordable housing, and an Affordable Housing Strategy. A Draft Strategy, presented to the Committee and members of the public in a workshop, generated much discussion and informed the final version of the Strategy, which provided future direction for city policy and programs.
