A Podcast about BC's housing affordability crisis and those delivering affordable homes.
Latest Episode
In this episode of Let’s Talk Housing, we explore how DASH keeps building costs down. When costs stay under control, important features don’t get cut.
DASH also brings builders and contractors together earlier. This helps projects move faster and stay on track.
The result is simple: homes are ready sooner, and people can move in faster.
Guests:
- Esther de Vos, Executive Director, Research, BC Housing
- Chris Hill, CPA CMA
Let’s Talk Housing is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and all other major podcast streaming platforms.
About our Podcast series
British Columbia is in the grips of a housing affordability crisis decades in the making. We need to find innovative solutions.
The Province has an ambitious plan to address the crisis through the largest investment in housing affordability in BC’s history.
Tasked with building tens of thousands of homes in hundreds of communities is BC Housing, the province’s agency responsible for developing, managing, and administering a wide range of subsidized housing and homelessness services across the province.
BC Housing doesn’t do this alone. To address the challenge, it’s working with hundreds of partners. In Let’s Talk Housing Season Five, you’ll get to hear from those delivering exciting affordable housing solutions.
Hosted by Mita Naidu, episodes address deep-rooted societal issues:
- the right to affordable, accessible and culturally appropriate housing
- mental health challenges
- homelessness
- meeting the needs of women and children leaving violence
- fostering community acceptance
- role of the private sector
- Impacts of climate change on housing.
