US EditionB.C. sets new five-year housing orders for 10 more municipalities
The program aims to deliver nearly 39,000 homes over five years, with over 14,000 below-market rentals to meet 75% of housing needs in 10 municipalities.
- The British Columbia Housing Ministry announced new five-year housing targets for 10 municipalities, effective Monday, Sept. 1, 2025, reflecting 75% of estimated housing need.
- As background, the expanded housing-targets program announced in May 2025 addresses high demand in growing communities, sits under the Housing Supply Act, and builds on the Homes for People action plan and $19-billion housing investment.
- Among details, Burnaby was ordered 10,240 net new homes while Coquitlam, Richmond and the Township of Langley were each told to boost supply by more than 6,000, with Langford and Courtenay assigned 2,993 and 1,334 respectively.
- The plan includes a large below-market rental component, with the ministry saying more than 14,000 homes are designated as below-market rentals under the Housing Supply Act.
- Under reporting rules, municipalities must submit annual progress updates, the Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs may appoint a special advisor if targets are missed, and the Province plans to include all 47 communities from the initial list.
