At the meeting of the Metro Vancouver Board on November 30th, 2007 the Board adopted the Metro Vancouver Affordable Housing Strategy. This strategy has been recognized as an important step in advancing the region’s sustainability objectives. The actions and directions set out in the Strategy focus on what can be achieved at the regional level and are intended to complement and support municipal, provincial, and federal housing and homelessness initiatives. The following provide additional information on the Strategy:

The Housing Data Book fact sheets provide information to assist member municipalities in their efforts to respond to the housing needs in their communities. The first series of fact sheets which have been produced focus on the income side of the equation. This includes information on the general income profile of households across the region (renters and owners) as well as information on the general range of housing types available. Future series of fact sheets will focus on housing market indicators, housing inventory, and housing needs.
