As of Jan. 16, 2017, British Columbians looking to purchase their first home can apply to the B.C. Home Owner Mortgage and Equity Partnership program, which helps first-time homebuyers create secure and stable futures for their families through home ownership.

Up to 300 low-income co-op households will benefit from the B.C. government’s $2 million in assistance to make their homes more affordable. This funding will bridge the shortfall resulting from expired federal operating agreements.

The Governments of Canada and B.C. officially announced today the purchase of 21 rental apartments in Richmond to ensure individuals and families with low to moderate incomes have more access to affordable rental housing.

Seniors living on low-income are benefiting from the 33 affordable apartments funded by the governments of Canada and British Columbia at The Remy, which recently opened in central Richmond.

With more than 20,000 online visits and counting to a provincewide discussion, community members in Richmond will be joining an in-person conversation as part of a comprehensive, public consultation on issues facing people with disabilities in B.C.

Seniors in need of affordable housing will soon have access to 296 new rental apartments in Richmond's city centre with the official groundbreaking for Kiwanis Towers.

An affordable home-ownership project for low-to-moderate-income families is one step closer to reality after a partnership was announced today between the Province and Habitat for Humanity.
