Who we serve

Subsidized housing serves lower income households, many with complex housing and health needs. Our services help those in greatest need, including:

Women and children fleeing abuse
People at risk of homelessness
Aboriginal peoples
Youth
Families
People with chronic health issues, including frail seniors and people with mental illnesses, physical disabilities or substance use issues

By the end of 2007/2008, it is anticipated that subsidized housing will help more than 58,400 households across the province. This represents almost six percent of the total housing stock in BC. The private market, with home ownership and market rental units, accounts for the majority of housing stock in the province.
