@StatCan_eng has just released a new report on evictions in Canada, which shows that #evictions are on the rise. Mirroring BSH research, evictions for sale, landlord-use or renovation are now the top reason for eviction, not non-payment of rent. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quoti…
HART Director Alexandra Flynn spoke on @CBC's @bctoday about the federal #housing plan, identifying public lands as "the cornerstone of the public strategy.” Listen here: cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…
Our Associate Director Craig Jones has been quoted on the federal budget: "When we map … the government-owned land is either sitting vacant or has a one to two-storey structure on it, there's a huge amount of potential there for new housing to get built" cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
“If I'm going to blame one level of government, it's going to be provinces and territories for having dropped the ball over 30 years, at least.” HART Expert Advisor @CWhitzman talks federal budget, responsibility for housing, and how to move forward. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/bri…

We're getting ready for #Budget2024 today and looking forward to new housing measures. We're proud to have had a role advocating for better gov land use policy, measurements of housing need, and a fed acquisitions program, but there's still much to do. Watch this space!👀

We’re pleased to see increases to housing subsidies for vulnerable seniors in BC, however a subsidy increase to $310/month does not serve the 85% of BC seniors who can only afford up to $1,000 per month. One-bedrooms in BC are renting for $2100+, and so a significant gap remains.

Yes, yes, and yes. Supply is important, but to meet the needs of the tens of thousands of Canadians who can only afford $1000/month or less, non-profit housing is vital. 👏 @jenhassum thestar.com/opinion/contri…

NEW: As of today, British Columbia, Canada becomes the first province/state in North America to allow mass timber buildings (aka “engineered wood”) up to 18 storeys in the building code without special processes (the previous code allowed 12 storeys). Hopefully this spreads fast.
This morning, I updated the BC Building Code with #MassTimber changes - effective immediately - that will: ✅Allow for 18 stories. ✅Allow for 9 stories without drywall. ✅Allow for different building structures - like schools and libraries. 🧵[1/5]
I'm a book nerd and I enjoyed hearing about three great housing books at CHRA @CWhitzman I can't wait to read yours! I've read Ricardo's tenant class and it's excellent!!!

New building codes means BC can build 18-storey #masstimber buildings! Building with Mass timber is 🍃Greener. 🏡 Faster 👷🏾♀️Safer. This transformative material gives more options for sustainable construction & expanding our forestry sector. Fantastic work from @KahlonRav 🙌
