We are excited to introduce our new Five-Year Strategic Plan, designed in collaboration with our customers, colleagues, and partners.

This plan reinforces our commitment to addressing homelessness and providing comprehensive support for those with complex social needs in our community.

Through this roadmap, we aim to expand our services and strengthen community ties, ensuring sustainable growth and continued support for all.

Our CEO, Lorraine Mealings, launches our new Strategic Plan

What we will look like in five years’ time

We want to achieve so much over the next five years in collaboration with our customers, colleagues and partners. With the dedication of everyone involved, we can confidently say this is what BCHA will look like in 2029:

  • We will be focused on our core landlord responsibilities, in line with regulatory and customer expectations
  • We will be bigger, both in terms of the good quality property assets we manage and in the scale of support services we deliver
  • We will be regarded locally as an employer of choice
  • Our customers will shape what we do and how we do it
  • We will have a clear measure of what good looks like and consistently deliver to that
  • We will be a modern and agile organisation in the way we work and the spaces we use
  • Our strong finances will allow us to direct funds back into supporting our customers

Our Strategic Priorities

The following five priorities will be the focus of our energies over the next five years. Each one cannot be achieved without reference to the other four.

A BIGGER IMPACT
