BC Housing welcomes the opportunity to work with individuals and organizations to create affordable housing solutions.

 BC Housing welcomes the opportunity to work with individuals and organizations to create affordable housing solutions.

We work in partnership with non-profit sectors and private sectors, community and Indigenous groups, provincial health authorities, ministries and other levels of government. As a partner, we build and facilitate community and business partnerships to find innovative solutions to housing.

As a provincial housing sector organization, we have deep in-house knowledge and experience in asset management, construction and building science. Through every step of the process of building, operating, maintaining and renewing social housing, we provide support and expertise. 

Partnership model

We use a public-private partnership model to create new subsidized housing. Developments are designed and built by the private sector and owned and managed by private, non-profit or co-operative housing providers.

BC Housing acts as a facilitator during the development phase. When the development is complete, we often subsidize operations and monitor performance.
