Affordable Housing

Our Region's Status

If the price of housing and rental rates continue to increase, what does this mean for residents as they age and their lifestyle changes? Will there be enough resources to shelter and support the region's 1,200 homeless residents? When the "baby boom" generation moves out of the workforce, will housing be available and affordable for younger workers? Will people choose to live in communities elsewhere in BC because of our high housing costs? Or, will they be compelled to commute longer distances? Is this sustainable?
