Affordable Home Ownership in Metro Vancouver

The next Metro Vancouver Sustainability Community Breakfast will take place Tuesday, February 28th, 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. at British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) downtown Vancouver campus at 555 Seymour Street, Vancouver.

The need for affordable home ownership in the region is increasing, with many families and young professionals being priced out of the housing market. Businesses need to attract employees - without affordable homes to purchase in the region we will have trouble competing for talented workers. What are the economic impacts of this? How can we increase affordability and create financial equity to enable mid-income people to purchase a home so they can live and work in the region? Join us to hear about projects, partnerships and innovations that can be part of affordable home ownership solutions.

Speakers:

• Jeff Fisher, Deputy Executive Director, Urban Development Institute
• Heather Tremain, Principal, Urban Fabric
• Marla Zucht, General Manager, Whistler Housing Authority
• Peter Ladner, Fellow, SFU Centre for Dialogue
