of new homes will be large enough for families
The Housing Vancouver Strategy is designed to make sure that everyone has access to affordable housing that meets their needs.
The strategy strives for an equitable housing system by:
- Shifting housing delivery to rental to address the most pressing needs
- Building more family-friendly options to ensure a diverse range of housing types that meet current and future demands
In 2017, Council adopted the wide-reaching and innovative Housing Vancouver Strategy, along with 10-year housing approval targets (2017-2026) and a 3-year action plan (2018-2020).
What's happeningNew Housing Targets and Action Plan
After more than 7 years of implementing the Housing Vancouver Strategy, many factors affecting housing have changed. Council directed staff to update the 10-year housing targets to include new elements such as the Vancouver Plan (adopted in 2022), various provincial legislation, and current economic realities.
On June 25, 2024, Council adopted new 10-year housing targets (2024-2033) as well as a new 3-year action plan (2024-2026) to help meet those targets, and to implement the Vancouver Plan and Housing Vancouver Strategy.
