Canada and British Columbia support more affordable housing in Vancouver

The governments of Canada, British Columbia, and the City of Vancouver have announced a combined funding of more than $91 million for a major affordable housing project in Vancouver. The 17-storey building will include 154 residential units and commercial space, and will be designed to passive house standards with mass timber to reduce carbon emissions. It will also include amenity space, vehicle and bike parking, and a new home for QMUNITY, a non-profit organization that works to improve queer, transgender, and Two-Spirit lives. Construction is expected to be complete in fall 2026.
