As a provincial crown agency, BC Housing works with all three levels of government, community stakeholders, the private sector and non-profit partners to develop new housing and support options to address housing needs in local communities across British Columbia. Check out the programs below to find out more information:

Local government partnerships - Partnering with several BC municipalities to develop supportive housing units to help individuals break the cycle of homelessness.
Affordable Rental Housing initiative - Supporting new affordable rental housing projects for low to moderate income households in the Columbia Basin region.
Provincial Homelessness Initiative - Developing housing with integrated support services to help individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
Seniors' Rental Housing - Developing affordable housing options for seniors and individuals with disabilities in small communities across British Columbia.
Olympic Legacy Housing - Converting temporary modular housing from the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Village in Whistler into permanent, affordable apartments in six communities.
Aboriginal Housing Initiative - Developing new affordable housing options for Aboriginal people living off-reserve.
Independent Living BC - Developing subsidized assisted living for seniors and individuals with disabilities.

Since 2001, the provincial government has committed to creating over 20,000 new units of social housing – from supportive housing for the homeless to affordable rentals for individuals, seniors and families with lower incomes. To date, the majority of those units have been completed.
