Minister Responsible for Housing
VICTORIA – The B.C. government has updated the Province’s housing strategy, Housing Matters BC, to direct new affordable housing investments and better serve the future needs of B.C. residents.
The update builds on seven years of best practices, and establishes three priorities that will guide future investments and projects:
* Take meaningful steps to improve safety, enhance affordability and promote healthy homes and communities.
* Create greater housing stability in a manner that increases confidence for renters, landlords and strata owners.
* Develop partnerships in a manner that creates more choices and increases affordable housing options for all British Columbians.
Launched in 2006, Housing Matters BC remains the most progressive housing strategy in Canada. The strategy has guided more than $2.5 billion since 2006 for housing programs and infrastructure and it has transformed affordable housing in British Columbia.
