The Province, through BC Housing, has partnered with the Capital Regional District to create new independent housing with supports and shelter spaces on Salt Spring Island.

New data released by BC Housing shows a record number of new homes registered in British Columbia in 2021.

Construction is starting on a 35-unit housing development designed to help address the affordability and accessibility needs of Indigenous individuals, Elders and families in Vernon.

Single-parent families, seniors and people living with disabilities are among the people moving into 42 new affordable rental homes built for people with low to moderate incomes in Powell River.

The governments of Canada and British Columbia continue to invest in local infrastructure to meet the needs of communities, enhance people’s quality of life, increase food security, and support local solutions that make communities more resilient to unpredictable events.
