People will soon have access to hundreds more affordable homes in communities they love through a partnership between the Province and Metro Vancouver.

More affordable rental homes are on the way for people in B.C. as the Province launches a three-year pilot of the new Secondary Suite Incentive Program.  

The Province is taking action to support renters and landlords who play by the rules by amending legislation to better protect people from bad-faith evictions, eliminate rent increases when a child is added to a household and resolve rental disputes faster.

Nearly 2,000 new affordable homes are on the way for renters in Metro Vancouver, through partnerships between the Province and local non-profit housing providers.

Individuals, couples and families have started moving into 100 new affordable rental homes in Surrey. 

Proposed changes to the building code will expand the use of mass timber to build taller buildings and to make stronger communities.
