Title
Affordable Housing
Recommended Action
Whereas Mayor and Council have now received a CPC presentation from staff regarding affordable housing options;
Whereas Council deems that the provision of affordable housing options within the Township are a necessary and vital component of the common community good in order to support social sustainability; and
Whereas concrete affordable housing strategies align with policy directives found within previously adopted Council Resolutions, including the Township of Langley Housing Action Plan, Sustainability Charter, and the nascent Social Sustainability Strategy;
Therefore be it resolved that Council direct staff to proceed with a “needs assessment” based on current TOL demographics, to inform a review of “best management practises” from Metro-wide communities in order to provide appropriate formulas and strategies and identify all relevant opportunities for the Township to collaborate and partner with senior levels of government and housing service providers, as well as the development community and community stakeholders, in order to achieve this necessary social goal in a fair and equitable manner.
