The City of Vancouver owns property throughout the city and, at OneCity, we want to see some of that land used to build affordable housing. Â
ONECITY'S PLAN TO BUILD ON CITY-OWNED LAND
- Support the City of Vancouver’s recent creation of the Vancouver Affordable Housing Endowment Fund with a goal of 12,000 units of social, supportive, and cooperative housing over the next 10 years.
- Advocate for an additional 12,000 units of City-owned guaranteed affordable rental for low and middle income residents.
- Ask City staff to study and map under-utilized city-owned lands and buildings as potential building sites, and consider re-purposing or adding density to existing sites to meet this goal.
- Promote cost-effective design that contributes to the well-being of Vancouver residents and the surrounding community.
