This report was produced together with Henry Lau for an affordable housing planning class, in response to an assignment prompt to review a community’s housing strategy. Working on the Maple Ridge Housing Action Plan (HAP), which was drawn up in 2014, we combined a community demographic profile using census data with insights from the 2021 Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report to draw up a project plan (including an engagement plan) along with an implementation framework that reassessed and reprioritised the 2014 HAP actions.

While I took the lead in developing the community profile and implementation framework, the entire process for this project was highly collaborative. We drew on both the content from this class and our respective experiences in planning and policy work to shape our analyses and generate practical, implementable recommendations.
