Establish a Municipal-level Inclusive Housing Partnership Facilitator with the City of Fredericton. Evaluate and explore ways to replicate this role in other communities (including Saint John).
What we learned
When we talk about the social impacts of housing versus just the physical impacts of housing we can improve the health and well-being of people and communities. The need to move forward on inclusive housing was evident in our Lab. We heard:
- Inclusive housing is not just for one population
- Organizations often do not work together across populations
- Government, private and community sectors are not well connected
- Siloed thinking leads to siloed actions and less power
Priority actions from our roadmap
Priority Action 2
Establish a Provincial Inclusive Housing Partners Table or Coalition for the purpose of aligning and co-creating policies, programs and innovations between the Government of New Brunswick and other provincial stakeholders.
