Over the next five years, the Province is committing a total of $355 million to create upwards of 2,000 new affordable housing units across British Columbia.

2015 has been a busy and fulfilling year, and as the new year approaches, we look forward to continuing to work with our community partners to help more people find a safe and affordable place to call home.

People who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in Victoria will soon have access to a new winter shelter.

After two years of consultation with thousands of British Columbians and multiple stakeholders on the future use of the Riverview Lands, the Province released a Vision for Renewing Riverview Lands.

As temperatures dip, the Province is preparing for the increased demand for shelter spaces in Vancouver by implementing its winter shelter plan.

The B.C. government is providing $40,000 to allow the emergency weather response shelter at St. Hilda’s Anglican Church in Sechelt to remain open seven days a week.

The B.C. government will fund approximately 560 extreme weather shelter spaces across Metro Vancouver this winter to help those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness with access to a safe, warm place to stay at night.
