Proposed Housing Supply Act could change ‘the very makeup’ of Kamloops stratas: broker
KAMLOOPS — While it’s unclear how the proposed Housing Supply Act will affect the City of Kamloops, the B.C. NDP government is moving forward with their new housing initiative. If passed, the province will be able to implement housing targets for municipalities and monitor their progress.
“The act enables compliance options as a last resort, should municipalities with the highest need struggle to create the conditions that are necessary to ensure housing gets built,” the B.C. government said in a news release.
In addition to the Housing Supply Act, the province announced amendments to the Strata Property Act, that if approved would immediately end all strata rental-restriction bylaws and remove age restriction bylaws for adult-only communities. This will not affect 55-and-over strata housing.
