BC Gov News

The B.C. government reassures renters they will not be evicted if they cannot pay rent during the state of emergency related to novel coronavirus (COVID-19). As announced on March 25, 2020, the Province has halted evictions during the COVID-19 crisis.

To address the issue of housing affordability for British Columbians, the Province is curbing speculative demand in B.C.’s housing market and helping build 114,000 affordable market rental, non-profit, supported social housing and owner-purchase housing through partnerships.

People in B.C.’s rural communities are often the unsung heroes of our provincial economy.
