Housing Action Plan Feedback Opportunity
Thriving, inclusive communities need a diverse and affordable supply of housing. To address the needs of its growing population and housing affordability challenges, the Township of Langley is updating its 2013 Housing Action Plan.
The new draft plan has been developed with input from the general public and key stakeholders. Once finalized, the updated Housing Action Plan (HAP) will guide Township housing action over the next five years. Right now, the public has a chance to review the draft plan and provide feedback at tol.ca/housingaction. You can complete an online survey about the plan until 3 p.m. on October 1, 2021.
Draft priorities and actions in the updated plan focus on diversifying housing types, catalyzing rental housing, supporting vulnerable residents, and monitoring trends and emerging priorities in the Township.
The new Plan aims to build on a number of Township initiatives to support housing affordability that have already been adopted, with guidance from the 2013 HAP. These initiatives have helped facilitate construction of 94 subsidized rental units, in addition to the 672 below-market rental, subsidized rental, and supportive housing units under construction or in the development process.
Following the public feedback, a final draft of the updated HAP will be prepared for Council’s consideration. Based on Council’s direction, implementation of the new HAP would follow.
