Canada - British Columbia Affordable Housing Agreement

In December 2001, the Province of British Columbia and the Government of Canada announced the first bilateral agreement under the Canada-British Columbia Affordable Housing Agreement.

Funding from this agreement created about 3,900 units under the Provincial Housing Program (PHP), the Independent Living BC (ILBC) program, and the Community Partnership Initiatives (CPI) program.

The agreement was renewed in December 2004 with each level of government contributing about $42 million towards the Provincial Homelessness Initiative (PHI) in BC.

In April 2009, the  Extension to the Canada-BC Affordable Housing Initiative  was signed, with each level of government contributing funding for the Provincial Homelessness Initiative,   Seniors Rental Housing initiative and the Housing Renovation Partnership.
