The Province is investing nearly $1 million to 26 communities including Prince George and the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George assess and report on local housing needs, so governments can ensure they deliver homes for residents.
“Local governments and First Nations play a critical role in addressing the housing crisis, and the impacts of COVID-19 on people and communities have reinforced just how important it is to support them in their efforts,” said Josie Osborne, Minister of Municipal Affairs.
“This funding will help communities determine exactly what kind of housing people need and will support healthy and resilient communities across B.C. well into the future.”
