Between 2016 & 2021 fully 10.5% of #BritishColumbia renters reported being forced to move by their landlord for unit sale or renovation, according to a new UBC report. That was nearly twice #Canada's national #eviction rate of 5.9%. #Vancouver#demoviction https://t.co/sJ3yB3eEDg

New opinion piece: "Public hearings on housing systematically underrepresent the interests of renters and those who have been priced out or otherwise excluded from communities." https://t.co/oST3FtrUb5 #vanpoli#affordablehousing
Is everyone starting to get the sense that our 30 year drive toward lower taxes might end up costing us much more? If only someone could have predicted this.
Oh! If only someone could have predicted this. 🫣

What an incredible privilege to stand alongside this fine group today.
This Fund will be sector-led and the assets will be non-profit owned. That's the secret sauce of protecting affordability forever.
Steering the Fund with @ahma_bc@chfbc is more than we could hope for.
Folks with heat pumps. How are you doing in this cold? Do you have a backup system? Is your pump still working? I'd love to know, as we are thinking of going in that direction when our old inefficient gas hog of a furnace finally dies.

NEW VIDEO! "The Non-capitalist Solution to the Housing Crisis", a deep dive into the subject of non-market housing: https://t.co/Qmgm3sUhG4. A HUGE thank you to @Vancity for sponsoring this video.
In BC, almost 100,000 homes renting below $1,000/month were lost between 2016 and 2021.
There are very few homes being built to replace them. Not even the non-profit sector can build new housing in these rent ranges without significant government investment.
