EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Wood Buffalo Housing and Development retained Urban Matters / Urban Systems to complete a Regional Housing Needs Assessment for the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB) area. This study included the collection, review and analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data for housing across the Region and is intended to develop a more robust and comprehensive understanding of housing supply, challenges, gaps and needs within our communities here in the RMWB. A full literature review of existing reports and studies, as well as available statistical data (including the recently completed 2018 Municipal Census) was undertaken. This data and the resulting findings were then used as the basis for engaging with each of the communities within the Region. Interviews and engagement sessions were completed with key stakeholders and community representatives in all communities within the study scope. This report provides an overview of the regional findings. A detailed report specific to each community was also prepared:1 • Fort Chipewyan • Fort McKay • Fort McMurray, including data from Draper where available • Saprae Creek • Gregoire Lake Estates • Anzac • Janvier • Conklin This volume of reports and findings within are intended to provide an evidence-based summary, augmented with anecdotal community context, on the housing landscape amongst RMWB communities. It is our hope this work will be instrumental in supporting the growth and development of capacity, programs and/or projects to further address key housing needs within our Region. Key Findings Overall, the region is affluent, with high median incomes, meaning that despite high home prices housing for most households remains affordable. However, for households earning less than $40,000 housing affordability is an acute issue, and approximately 770 renting households are in core housing need, while anywhere from about 200 to 300 individuals in the region are homeless and may not be captured by core housing need estimates. Our research shows that there is a housing crises in many of the rural hamlets: Janvier, Conklin, Fort Chipewyan, and Fort McKay are all experiencing significant housing issues that include overcrowding, housing in poor repair, and low-income households who cannot afford even the community housing (i.e. affordable but not deeply subsidized) when they are available. Community members we engaged with indicated that the hamlets need a 1 Due to size considerations, Fort Fitzgerald was not included. PAGE 1 community-based response to housing issues, one driven by an Indigenous perspective that understands the specific challenges and opportunities present in the communities. Housing in Fort McMurray is also a challenge for the lowest-income earners: although rents have come down since the 2016 wildfire, they are not low enough to serve households earning less than $40,000 per year, and even some households earning less than about $70,000 may experience difficulty in affording median market rent. The 2018 homeless count in Fort McMurray counted 200 individuals who were on the street or in shelters, indicating a need to strengthen existing services and supports (such as Housing First programs) to adequately support this population. Issues and Opportunities Issue: In addition to the new units that are required to meet the current housing need, hundreds more are in various states of disrepair
