In light of @kennedystewart celebrating the approval of “social Housing” on Nelson. Here are a few key slides from my HVS presentation to council.
1. Housing Vancouver Strategy (HVS) targets don’t match the incomes of Vancouverites 1/N
1. Housing Vancouver Strategy (HVS) targets don’t match the incomes of Vancouverites 1/N
2. “Social Housing” is an overly broad term covering annual incomes up to $100k. The 80-100k range of “social Housing” has an annual target of 20 units per year. 2018 approvals were 2310% of target. Which looks like this 2/N
3. When you remove the “over approved” units from the overall count towards “social housing” the city doesn’t meet their overall targets. 3/N
If you sort the approvals by income. The “progress” is dismal and the city lacks transparency on the upper end of the market. Remember targets for <15k were only met/exceeded due to TEMPORARY modular housing. 4/N
How do we build for the people who live and work HERE? #vanpoli #Gaslighting @CityHallWchVAN @jhwfung @mtnbvan @rohanarezel @JeanSwanson_ @CllrHardwick @AdrianeCarr @PtFry @councillorwiebe @christineeboyle @sarasagaii @YVRTenantsUnion
