The Province of British Columbia and the City of Surrey have partnered to respond to an urgent need for housing assistance in the community.

People in need of affordable rental housing in Terrace, including families and seniors, will soon have more housing options, with construction underway on 45 rental homes.

The Government of British Columbia will provide the City of Kelowna with an additional $12 million to support the completion of its Drinking Water Integration Project.

The Province will invest more than $7 billion over 10 years, to build the kind of homes people need, in every corner of the province — including urban, suburban and rural.

BC Housing and the Provincial Rental Housing Corporation have been granted an injunction by the B.C. Supreme Court, to prevent protestors from blocking construction of 55 new supportive homes for homeless people in Maple Ridge.

People in communities throughout British Columbia can look forward to improved environmental infrastructure, thanks to a $243-million partnership between the federal and provincial governments.

The Government of British Columbia and BC Housing will resume preparing a site for temporary modular housing for people who are homeless in Maple Ridge after protesters voluntarily vacated the site, prior to the court application to have them removed.
