New affordable rental housing is coming to Victoria and Salt Spring Island, thanks to a partnership between the Province, the Capital Regional District (CRD) and Island Health.

In 2013, the City of Vancouver, Brenhill Developments, 127 Housing Society and BC Housing established a partnership to build 162 new units of affordable rental housing to replace 87 units of obsolete housing at the aging Jubilee building, located at 508 Helmcken St.

Deputy Premier and Minister of Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman has issued the following statement about the Huu-ay-aht First Nations vote supporting Sarita LNG:

Provincial funding of $15 million will deliver 40 units of transitional housing and shelter space for men and women in need at a proposed purpose-built development in Mission.

The Province is helping a non-profit society improve the affordability of their Surrey housing development by providing $75,000 per year over a 10-year period.

Seniors and people with disabilities living on low-to moderate-incomes will soon have increased access to affordable housing in Parksville, with construction underway of Kingsley Manor.

The Province has committed $30,000 in project development funding to the Island Crisis Care Society (ICCS) for the creation of an affordable rental housing project, including a shelter.

The March 2017 natural gas and petroleum rights sale resulted in $4.8 million in bonus bids.
