People are settling into their new homes at a 70-unit affordable rental building in East Vancouver that gives priority to single women, and single mothers and their children.

Nearly 1,200 rental homes are coming soon for individuals, seniors and families with middle incomes in the Township of Langley and Burnaby, through new BC Builds projects.

More than 70 new rental homes are coming to Gibsons as families, seniors and individuals begin moving into a completed Phase 1 development and construction begins on Phase 2, a BC Builds delivered project. 

Ravi Kahlon, Minister of Housing, has released the following statement about supportive housing in Richmond: 

Women and their children leaving gender-based violence in Terrace now have access to 22 second-stage homes with the opening of Ella’s Place.

People experiencing homelessness in Merritt will soon have access to as many as 40 shelter spaces as the Province, through BC Housing, leases the Knights Inn motel until March 30, 2027.

Seniors in Fort St. James and Telkwa are moving into two new buildings with a combined 48 rental homes that are affordable, accessible and centrally located.  

Families and people will soon have more multi-bedroom apartment options available to them, thanks to changes to the BC Building Code (BCBC) allowing single egress stair (SES) designs in low- and mid-rise buildings.
