Kamloops one of 10 municipalities given housing targets by the B.C. government
KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops is one of 10 municipalities in B.C. that will have housing targets set for them by the provincial government.
In a news release issued Wednesday (May 31) morning, the B.C. government says the Housing Supply Act gives it the authority to set housing targets in municipalities, starting with those with the greatest need and highest projected growth.
The province states it selected Kamloops and the other nine municipalities using a data-based process that prioritizes the urgency of local housing needs, housing affordability and the availability of the right housing supply – including land availability and unrealized potential for more homes.
