In response to the new provincial housing legislation passed in 2023, the New Democratic government will allocate $51 million to 188 local governments to help them comply with new requirements. This money can enable local governments to improve planning, development and reporting processes, hire new staff and consultants and help governing bodies become more efficient at approving housing. Smaller municipalities will especially benefit from this funding as they have fewer resources to make changes.

This funding is part of the historic $19-billion housing investment by the provincial government. Since 2017, more than 77,000 homes have been delivered or are underway across B.C.
