Victoria – BC Premier John Horgan has issued (in part) the following statement to mark National Housing Day on November 22, 2018:
“Every person deserves a safe place to call home. But years of inaction on the B.C. housing crisis has left too many people in B.C. unable to find affordable housing. Our government is making different choices and taking action to tackle supply, curb demand, and make housing more affordable and secure for people around the province.”
“People need an opportunity to survive, thrive and get ahead. That starts with knowing you and your family have a place to come home to. On National Housing Day, we commit to keep working collaboratively across the aisle and with local partners to deliver safe, secure and affordable housing for people in B.C.”
While the official statement re-announced housing projects that were already public knowledge, there was nothing new in this weeks proclamation.
