Stop CPH: History & Changes
Stop CPH: History & Changes
The Stop CPH movement began as a grassroots response in Richmond when residents learned about the proposed Community Permanent Housing (CPH) project that would bring a supportive housing facility into the community. Many residents expressed concerns — not about housing itself — but about safety, transparency, and accountability, especially after seeing issues with other supportive housing projects in the region.
At the start, the focus was on raising awareness: community members organized meetings, spoke with city councillors, and mobilized neighbors who felt blindsided by the process. Over time, the movement grew stronger and more coordinated, emphasizing that the opposition was not against housing, but against projects that lacked proper planning, oversight, and safeguards for both residents and the surrounding community.
As momentum built, public forums and petitions were launched, and volunteers came together to advocate for alternatives — solutions that would address housing needs without repeating past mistakes seen in other neighborhoods.
In the end, the Stop CPH movement not only stopped one controversial project, but also changed how Richmond approaches its citizens: the City has since become more willing to hold open houses and consultations to explain housing proposals in detail, giving residents a greater voice in shaping their community.
停止 CPH：歷史與改變
停止 CPH：歷史與改變
「停止 CPH 運動」 最初是列治文居民自發組織的行動，源於社區發現政府計劃興建 永久社區安置房 (CPH)。許多居民的疑慮並不是反對興建房屋本身，而是擔心 安全、透明度與責任制，尤其是看到其他地區的類似安置項目已出現嚴重問題後，更加深了這種憂慮。
運動初期，社區居民專注於 提高意識：組織社區會議、與市議員對話，並號召鄰里一起發聲，因為大家感到整個過程缺乏告知與參與。隨著行動壯大，運動越來越有組織性，並不斷強調：我們反對的不是「住房」本身，而是那些 缺乏規劃、缺乏監管、無法保障住戶與周邊社區安全的項目。
之後，居民透過 請願、公開論壇與集體行動 持續施壓，要求政府尋找更好的替代方案，既能滿足住房需求，又不會重蹈其他社區的覆轍。
最終，這場運動不僅阻止了一個具爭議性的項目，更促使列治文市 改變了與市民互動的方式：市府在後續類似住房計劃中，更願意舉辦 公開諮詢與說明會，詳細解釋項目的細節，讓居民能更充分地參與，並在塑造社區未來上擁有更大的發言權
