Premier David Eby announced Tuesday (March. 19) close to 2,000 new affordable homes for renters in Metro Vancouver.

“Everyone deserves a decent home they can actually afford,” Eby said. “That’s why we’re taking unprecedented actions to rapidly build more affordable housing throughout the province, including through the Community Housing Fund. This latest round of funding will bring much-needed homes to every region of our province - from our fastest-growing cities to rural and remote areas - helping everyone find a decent home in the community they love.
