Eby to create new ministry solely devoted to B.C. housing crisis
Premier David Eby announced the incoming change Tuesday , saying more is needed to tackle the province’s supply and affordability challenges.
“The housing crisis deserves the attention of a full ministry and the resources that come with it,” he said in a statement. Housing in B.C. is currently lumped in under the responsibilities of the attorney general, a position now filled by MLA Murray Rankin. Rankin is also the Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation.
Prior to that, housing was overseen by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, before municipal affairs branched off into its own ministry.His Tuesday announcement comes just one day after he released his plan to tackle the province’s housing crisis, including a proposed Housing Supply Act and amendments to the Strata Property Act. If passed, the former will give the province a more hands-on role in setting and enforcing housing targets for individual municipalities.
