Provincial Matching of Local Government Land Investments in Affordable Housing

Whereas local governments across the Province of BC face an unprecedented housing crisis; And whereas local governments have limited revenue and capability to address the crisis; And whereas the Province of BC has made it their priority to provide attainable and affordable housing for all BC communities: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM ask the provincial government of British Columbia to work collaboratively with local governments and establish a model that provides provincial funding equal or greater in value to any donated land a local government contributes for the purpose of attainable and affordable housing projects.
