ACRD Housing Needs Reports
In 2025, MDS prepared a comprehensive housing needs report for the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD). The Regional District was seeking support to update their 2021 housing need report, to meet new provincial requirements and incorporate current information from the most recent census. Our team delivered a regional summary report and full reports for each of the six electoral areas (A – F).
This work included an updated need analysis, an updated demand analysis to estimate future housing needs, and an updated supply analysis to examine how existing housing stock and anticipated builds align with expected needs. It also included recommendations for strategies, management practices, partnerships, funding, and performance measures that will can help the district address housing gaps. Our team’s 5-phase approach included data collection and projections, stakeholder engagement, data synthesis, reporting, and capacity building for the District.
