Partnerships fuel Bridge Shelter progress

Opening a bridge shelter is a key step forward in Vancouver's work to address the crisis of homelessness. Thanks to new funding from Clark County and PeaceHealth, we're making real progress on plans to open the 120-bed shelter in 2026.

Now’s your chance to weigh in! The City is working together with community members to create Our Vancouver, an updated comprehensive plan that will guide the city’s growth and development over the next 20 years.
As part of this effort, two different land use alternative maps were created that represent the range of ways Vancouver can grow and develop to help achieve our community's vision.
We hope you will explore the alternatives and their potential impacts and tell us what you think. The feedback you provide will shape the final map and plan for Vancouver’s growth and development.
