Curious about what this week’s new Census data release tells us about rental housing affordability in BC?

Check this out! 👇

[Jill Atkey @jfatkey]

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.

Great interview with ⁦@thomjarmstrong⁩ laying out the details of the https://t.co/riqd9MatzC housing database for every BC municipality 🤓

Cast your ballots wisely! https://t.co/cppyPEXnew

[BCNPHA @BCNPHA]

Recent survey results show BC voters rank housing, homelessness and poverty as their top concerns: https://t.co/9GVjtYNvp5

This sends a clear message to candidates in the Oct 15 local elections—it's time to commit to action on #affordablehousing.
