Housing Matters BC

In October 2006 the Province launched the provincial housing strategy, Housing Matters BC , in response to a changing housing environment. It commits to  existing programs that have proven successful, and to new approaches to meet the range of housing needs of British Columbians.

Through Housing Matters BC , the Province is investing in housing and shelter programs to ensure British Columbians have affordable and appropriate housing. In the first year since Housing Matters BC  was launched, the Province has helped more than 80,000 households across British Columbia.
