As part of the Province’s commitment to build more homes for people, the next set of priority communities has been identified to receive housing targets for the next five years.

B.C. is taking action to target housing speculation to make sure more people can find an affordable home in the communities where they live and work.

Schools throughout B.C. will get a boost now that more funding is available for upgrades.

The Province has updated the Provincial Policy Manual: Transit-Oriented Areas (TOA manual) to ensure local governments are supported in delivering the housing and amenities people need in areas near transit hubs.

The Province is supporting local governments to build more housing for people faster with funding to help them meet new provincial legislative requirements.

Homeowners in designated taxable municipalities covered by the speculation and vacancy tax will soon receive their annual declaration letters, as part of the Province’s work to fight real estate speculation and deliver more homes to people.
