Vancouver BC: 20% Core Need Housing Policy
BackgroundThe city introduced its inclusionary housing program in 1988 through a policy initially called its ‘20% core need housing policy’, but now more commonly its ‘non-market housing policy’. The purpose of the policy was to ensure that housing was provided in all new neighbourhoods for low and modest-income households, and especially those with children. A paper by John Gladki and Steve Pomeroy about the implementation of Inclusionary Housing in Ontario, commissioned by the Ontario Non-Profit Housing Network Paper from Metro Vancouver Policy and Planning DepartmentThere is renewed interest to look at the current policy “toolbox” and examine which tools have been successfully used, but not necessarily to their full potential, in Metropolitan Vancouver. Inclusionary zoning has been identified as a potential tool that merits examination, as it uses the land use regulatory powers of municipalities to facilitate the creation of affordable housing. |
