Rural Homelessness

Understanding Rural Housing Needs Starts with You

Calling all community members in the County of Grande Prairie and in the Towns of Beaverlodge, Sexsmith, and Wembley – we need your help with the 2025 Alberta Provincial Housing and Service Needs Estimation Survey. 

The County of Grande Prairie is partnering with the Rural Development Network (RDN) for the Housing and Service Needs Estimation project, to better understand housing and service needs in our community. 

Running from October 1 to 31, the survey will be available online and at participating service provider locations. By completing a survey, you can share your experiences with housing and service needs, helping to inform community policies, practices, and funding decisions on housing and services moving forward.  

Help the County shine a spotlight on the issues of housing and service needs in our community – fill out a survey at a participating service provider location or complete the online survey here.
