(File Ref. No.:  06-2270-01/2009-Vol 01) (REDMS No. 2656765)

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

That Council approve the following resolution for submission to the 2009 Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) Convention:

WHEAREAS the provision of and access to affordable housing is vital to support the health and well-being of individuals, as well as the sustainability of vibrant and diverse communities. 

WHEREAS the changes in senior government funding and the withdrawal of Federal funding for new social housing developments has placed constraints on the construction of new affordable housing units, combined with demand pressures on the existing stock of adequate affordable housing, and ongoing tight rental market conditions has meant that there are nearly 133,100 British Columbians who rent and who are in core housing need.

AND WHEREAS leadership, sustained funding, and strong partnerships are required to increase the supply and diversity of affordable housing across British Columbia:

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the UBCM urge the Provincial government and Federal government to work with community partners to develop a National Affordable Housing Strategy which includes provisions that respond to the specific needs of British Columbians; and which provides the necessary long-term funding to support the construction of the full range of affordable housing choices needed in communities across the Province; 

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the UBCM urge the Provincial government to continue to show leadership on this issue through the provision of on-going funding to meet the housing needs in communities across the Province as well as in ensuring that adequate housing and supports are in place to better meet the needs of those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
