Youth transitioning out of foster care, and young mothers in New Westminster are closer to having a safe, stable place to live as construction starts on a new 89-home development in the community.

People with low to moderate incomes in Quesnel, including Indigenous Elders, seniors and families, will soon have access to safe, affordable housing with construction underway on 35 new rental homes.

People experiencing or at risk of homelessness now have more safe places to stay with the opening of 25 additional temporary shelter spaces at the Victoria Native Friendship Centre (VNFC) in Saanich, bringing its total number of overnight shelter spaces to 50.

More people will be able to stay in an affordable home near their jobs, schools and loved ones as the Province ties the annual allowable rent increase to inflation at 2.3% in 2026, down from 3% in 2025.

The Province has set new housing targets for a fourth group of municipalities, bringing thousands of new homes to communities throughout B.C.

On March 22, 2025, the people of Okanagan Falls voted in favour of incorporating as a new municipality.

People experiencing homelessness in Williams Lake have access to additional shelter spaces with the opening of Roots on First.

More support is on the way for people experiencing homelessness as the Province and the City of Powell River partner on a new temporary shelter.

Ministerial directives have been issued to the districts of Oak Bay and West Vancouver to continue helping the communities improve local processes and build more homes people need.
