BC Housing and Island Health, in partnership with the City of Victoria and non-profit operators, are taking measures to support people experiencing homelessness in Victoria who are at risk from COVID-19.

Construction is getting underway on a new housing development designed for Indigenous peoples in the workforce on the Tsawout First Nation in Central Saanich.

B.C.’s maximum allowable rent increase amount for 2022 is being set at 1.5%, based on inflation.

More B.C. public sector employees will be protected when bringing forward concerns about serious wrongdoing with the expansion of the scope of the Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA).

David Eby, Attorney General and Minister Responsible for Housing, has released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court of B.C.’s ruling in the Yahey v. British Columbia case:

Residential tenancy changes that will prevent renovictions and provide renters with more security and protection come into effect on Thursday, July 1, 2021.

Nearly 60 new affordable rental homes will soon be available for families and seniors in Victoria as construction begins on a new housing development in the community.

Nine affordable homes will soon be available to middle-income homebuyers, as construction has started on a new condominium project in Victoria.

BC Housing has secured the temporary use of Mount Tolmie Hospital in Saanich to ensure everyone maintains their accommodation, as the lease on Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre temporary shelter could not be extended.
