Provincial housing targets to be set for Kelowna, West Kelowna
Two Okanagan municipalities will need to meet provincial housing targets to accomodate growth in the community.
Kelowna and West Kelowna were among 20 B.C. municipalities identified as priority communities due to high-growth and high-needs, and will be tasked with hitting housing targets over the next five years.
“We are addressing the housing crisis with our municipal partners so thousands more affordable homes can be built for people who need them,” Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon said.
“Our goal for the next 20 communities is to build on the work they are already doing, while they continue to implement the recent provincial legislative changes. This group includes communities that are doing well on housing and some that need to do more.”
