People will soon have access to hundreds more affordable homes in communities they love through a partnership between the Province and Metro Vancouver.

As part of Budget 2024 measures that will increase supply and make homes more affordable and accessible, the Province is taking action against speculators and those who profit from “flipping” homes.

More low-income housing will soon be available to people living in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES) as the Province, through BC Housing, has purchased the 48-unit Keefer Rooms apartment building.

New measures are coming to B.C. that will help create more housing as the Province speeds up permitting and helps build more secondary suites for rent.

People experiencing homelessness in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside are moving into new temporary supportive homes, made possible through a partnership between the Province, through BC Housing, and the City of Vancouver.

As part of the actions government is taking to deliver homes for people faster, the first cohort of municipalities for housing targets have been selected, paving the way for building more good homes in areas with the greatest need throughout British Columbia.

Nearly 100 people experiencing homelessness on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside will soon have access to more housing.
