City of Vancouver
City of Vancouver Housing Centre
The Housing Centre was established in 1992. It is responsible for the City of Vancouver’s housing policy, programs and research. The City’s housing focus has been partnering with senior levels of government to develop social and rental housing. The City’s goal is to enlarge the supply of housing in Vancouver with a range of tenures and dwelling types sufficient to meet the needs of a variety of socio-economic groups. This is part of the City’s efforts to maintain and improve the quality of residential neighbourhoods. The Housing Centre presently consists of 12 full-time staff. The Housing Centre prepares reports to Council on housing and demographic change, and maintains an inventory of SROs & non-market housing in the City.
