The province says a restored fire-damaged SRO and a newly-purchased building near South Granville will provide 200 units of social and supportive housing in Vancouver by next fall.
The summit will explore regulation of short-term rentals, local financing opportunities, rezoning, supply-boosting, speculation challenges, homelessness, and more.
News of the newly-renovated SRO units for Downtown Eastside residents comes just months before 98 modular units in downtown Vancouver are slated to close.
