The Fund enables non-profit #housing providers & co-ops to acquire buildings and make capital upgrades to preserve #affordability for British Columbians.
"I love this area — it's home." Betty has called Chelsea Capri home for over 37 years. For decades, she’s been part of the #GrandviewWoodland community—building connections, memories, and a sense of home. With #communityhousing provider @ncshousing taking over her building, she expressed sincere gratitude that long-needed capital projects and necessary #building upgrades are finally underway. Notably, Betty is only the fourth longest-standing #tenant in her building. One of her neighbours has been there since the day it opened—56 years ago. That kind of #stability. That kind of #belonging. That’s what we’re #protecting at the Rental Protection Fund. #TenantStories #AffordableHousing
Protecting rental homes helps renters stay in the communities they've built their lives around. That means thousands of people can keep close to work, school, family and friends. This work will continue so that more people stay connected to what matters most.
More than 2000 homes in BC will now be protected, with secure affordable rents.
BC Rental Protection Fund partners with non-profit housing providers to buy rental buildings at risk of being lost to the private market, ensuring people keep their homes and rents stays affordable.

In a newly acquired @ncshousing building in the Grandview-Woodland neighbourhood, tenant and building manager Betty has lived at Chelsea Capri for 37 years, while her neighbour has been there since the day it opened—56 years ago.
"That kind of stability—that kind of belonging—is what we're protecting," said @KatieMaslechko, CEO @RentalProFund@ncshousing@christineeboyle@NikiSharma2@LucyMaloneyX@CityofVancouver #CommunityHousing
AHMA is celebrating our 30th anniversary! ✨ 🎉
AHMA would like to send our gratitude to our partners and members in walking alongside us on this journey.

The Realist journalist @Howard__24 interviews CEO @KatieMaslechko on what we’ve built over the last three years, including our Strategic Housing Acquisition Resource Platform (SHARP), a mapping #tool designed to identify opportunities for #acquisition and #preservation of #affordablehousing. “[We want] to ‘democratize data’ and to provide the community housing sector with access to data that the private sector typically already has, in order to empower better financial decisions and ‘maximize the public dollar’,” said Maslechko.

🎊 Three years of #RPF! Today is the #anniversary of our announcement in January 2023: when we were launched as a $500M fund to protect homes and grow the #communityhousing sector. First brought to fruition by the @BCGovNews — @Dave_Eby and @KahlonRav — and our Board of Directors @BCNPHA@jfatkey, @ahma_bc@MPfoh and @chfbc@thomjarmstrong, we have enabled non-profits to purchase and protect #affordability of existing rental buildings.
Now, three years later, we have impacted +4,000 B.C. renters, expanded to 34 community housing partners and reached 22 communities, province-wide. We're only just getting started — here's to many more years of growing affordable housing! 🏘️@christineeboyle@KatieMaslechko

Thank you @TikvaHousing for inviting us to your #AnnualMeeting! We’re thrilled to see the progress made over the last few years, and we look forward to future collaborations and expanding more #affordablehomes in 2026 and beyond.
Partout au pays, des immeubles locatifs disparaissent sous la pelle des démolisseurs, au détriment des locataires qui doivent se reloger. En C.-B., un fonds permet à des organismes de racheter ces bâtiments, gardant ainsi de nombreux logements abordables. @Anne_Levasseur
National Housing Day is on November 22.
The Rental Protection Fund now works with 34+ pre-qualified non-profit housing providers who collectively own and operate +26,000 affordable homes, with ~7,000 more on the way. Their work reaches every corner of the province, because housing is more than a building.
#NationalHousingDay is a reminder of what collaboration makes possible. Together, we remain committed to strengthening these partnerships so future generations have a secure and affordable place to call home. #AffordableHousing #CommunityHousing
