B.C.'s Maple Ridge promises housing plan after provincial housing minister calls for action GlobeBC
Housing Minister Selina Robinson listens during a housing announcement in Coquitlam, B.C., on April 13, 2018.After months of talks with the province that went nowhere, the City of Maple Ridge must this week reveal a plan clearing the way for supportive housing units to be built in the municipality.
“There were several offers over many, months to [build supportive housing] and they weren’t interested … they were not keen to work with us,” Ms. Robinson said. The tension between the city and the province comes as the provincial government is attempting to tackle homelessness and housing affordability on several fronts, including a temporary modular housing program announced in the 2017 budget.
A handful of cities have balked or backtracked on projects after community concerns. In Penticton, council voted down a rezoning application for a temporary modular housing project in May, 2018. BC Housing subsequently found another site.
