Homelessness is a complex social issue with many facets that are individual to each person who experiences it. Unfortunately, Abbotsford isn't alone in experiencing these challenges on a local level. Homelessness is a regional, inter-regional, Provincial and National challenge.
The City of Abbotsford has a role in advocating with senior levels of government, participating in regional and inter-regional efforts to enhance the community infrastructure, and developing policy and funding for solutions to end homelessness. The City of Abbotsford partners with local service providers, agencies and senior levels of government to address this very important social issue in our community.
