The Province, through BC Housing, has partnered with the SAFERhome Standards Society to create a new certification program that will improve liveability and accessibility in existing and future public-housing buildings.

Rachna Singh, Parliamentary Secretary for Anti-Racism Initiatives, and Mable Elmore, MLA for Vancouver-Kensington, have released the following statement in celebration of Filipino Heritage Month:

The Province plans to purchase a 66-unit rental home development in Maple Ridge to secure affordable housing options for people with moderate and low incomes.

Families, seniors and people with disabilities with low to moderate incomes in Nelson are moving into 43 affordable rental homes, with the first affordable housing project opening in the community in almost 15 years.

The BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) Tech Pilot will become a permanent feature of the BC PNP, providing B.C.-based tech companies and offices with the continued ability to recruit international talent and support government’s work to build a strong, sustainable recovery.

Families, seniors and people with disabilities in Trail are moving into homes they can afford, with a nine-unit apartment building opening in the community.

During Anti-Racism Awareness Week, the Province is announcing new community-driven projects to address issues of systemic racism.

The Province, through BC Housing, has purchased three motels in Penticton as part of a proposed redevelopment plan to preserve and revitalize 105 affordable homes for people with low incomes in the community. 

Not-for-profit groups that deliver social services to people and families throughout the southern Vancouver Island region are receiving support through B.C.’s Community Gaming Grants program.
