This past week I was joined by colleagues as we met with local organizations, business owners and people across Langley and Cloverdale to hear about the incredible work they do, and the challenges they face. It was great to be able to show my colleagues the amazing work being done here and what a great place the growing community of Langley is to live.
In my community of Langley, like in many other growing communities across the province, one thing that’s always clear when we’re out talking to people is that affordable housing is on their minds.
That’s why this week our government announced that we’re making it easier for people to build suites on their property, and that we’re streamlining the process for provincial approvals on new homes.
We know that people in British Columbia need housing now, and that’s why we’re making it easier for people who are looking to construct homes or apartment buildings to get the multiple different permits they need to begin building. By launching the Single Housing Application Service, we’re streamlining a process that used to require separate applications for every government ministry involved. This one-stop shop will help speed up approvals by months for rental buildings and new homes meaning people can get into the homes they deserve faster.
