Support non-market and co-op housing everywhere

In Vancouver, it’s harder to build social housing than million dollar homes.

OneCity Councillor Christine Boyle wants to change that. Her motion will make it easier for non-profit and co-op housing providers to build the kind of housing that more of us can actually afford, in more neighbourhoods of the city.

Delegating final approval for qualifying non-market housing to staff would save community housing providers time and money, so they can deepen affordability and provide more homes for people who need them.

Will you write city council today and ask them to allow taller buildings for non-profit, co-op and social housing, to create more homes that are more affordable for more people?
