There is a housing crisis in Metro Van. 62,000 low-income households pay more than 50% of their income on housing. Shifting 70% of the newly constructed rentals towards non-market = almost 75,000 more affordable homes for low-income households. Read our report @vancitycommfdn

“The Province will monitor progress and work with municipalities to help address barriers to meeting housing targets...”
In @NVanDistrict the “barriers” are the Mayor and a few unyielding no-growth councillors. #NorthVan news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2022…
