Housing & Homelessness Community Input Survey

Sarnia, ON – The Homelessness Prevention & Children’s Services Department is launching a community input survey to gather feedback on recent and impending efforts to strengthen housing outcomes and reduce chronic homelessness across Lambton County. 

Participants are encouraged to use this survey as an opportunity to share input on housing and homelessness strategies and actions, and to reflect on the current and potential housing and homelessness challenges facing our community.

“The results from this survey will help us build on the extensive community consultations that took place for our recently updated Housing and Homelessness Plan,” said Valerie Colasanti, Social Services Division General Manager. “While the community consultations that helped us develop this plan only took place in 2019, the results from this additional survey will take into account the new realities facing our community due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

As outlined in a recent report to County Council, the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced new, extreme pressures to our housing and homelessness system, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations.

To participate in the Housing & Homelessness Community Input Survey, visit lambtononline.ca/HHSurvey. The survey will be open until Sunday, December 19, 2021.
