City of Vancouver Unveils 10-year Housing Strategy
In Episode 97, we chatted with Nathan Lauster about the City of Vancouver’s 10-year Housing Strategy. The report was drafted by a special committee that was tasked with exploring potential solutions to the housing affordability issues that are currently dominating the conversation surrounding Real Estate in Vancouver.
The report also contains a 3-year action plan that recommends immediate steps to be taken in the short-term, including:
• Tax and financial regulatory tools to limit speculation
• A Regional Partnership Table on social and rental housing delivery
• Action to strengthen the Residential Tenancy Act to improve renter protection, security of tenure, and affordability
• Amendment of the Vancouver Charter to allow Rental-Only Zones and /or to clarify the City’s authority to density-bonus for rental housing
• Action to prevent homelessness and create pathways to housing stability, including a Poverty Reduction Strategy and accelerated replacement of SROs with self-contained social housing
• Support for new and existing affordable housing through the new National Housing Strategy
• Opportunities to support reinvestment in private market rental and renewal in existing social and co-op housing
