Your input matters!

The City of Niagara Falls is developing an Action Plan to better support unhoused and vulnerable residents. We want your ideas to help create more coordinated, compassionate, and effective solutions. Your feedback will guide recommendations to City Council in 2026 and help shape how we respond to homelessness and related challenges in our city.

Project Background

At the City Council meeting on October 7, 2025, Mayor Diodati called for an Action Plan to find better ways to support unhoused and vulnerable residents.

Current municipal focus includes:
  • Cleanup & maintenance
  • Public safety & security
  • Reactive measures rather than proactive support

Goal of the project: Create a coordinated Action Plan outlining an overarching mission, and to focus and streamline current resources to create efficiencies, and a practical approach to support unhoused and vulnerable people in our community.

Next Steps

  • 📢Thank you to those who attended our Open House on March 26, 2026, at the MacBain Community Centre.
  • 🗓️ Public input collected here will help shape recommendations to City Council in June 2026.

Your participation will help create a safer, stronger, and more compassionate Niagara Falls.
