Cause+Affect worked with the City of Vancouver in 2016 on the reset of their Housing and Homelessness Strategy called Re:Address.
Our focus was on the development and facilitation of a new strategic process that encourages greater community engagement. Rather than the traditional “present and defend” model where a strategy is produced and citizens are then asked for feedback, we developed a new model where experts and engaged citizens are actively weaved into the strategic process, allowing the strategy to inform our community, while our community informs the strategy.
The Re:Address Events
A cornerstone to this process was Re:Address Week and the Re:Address Summit which convened hundreds of people across a wide diversity of topics all centred on improving dialogue around housing affordability. A new strategy is expected in early 2017 that will be shared with the public through a variety of different community events.
Steve and his team provided endless support to the City of Vancouver’s Greenest City agenda. From designing our Olympic pavilion to launching our Greenest City Initiatives to taking on our most significant challenge; affordable housing and homelessness. An ideal partner throughout .
