New Directions in Affordability: The Report of the Provincial Commission on Housing Options

In 1992, the minister of municipal affairs, recreation and housing established the provincial commission on Housing options in British Columbia. This report prepared by a two-members commission examines how to meet British Columbia's housing needs within shrinking budgets and limited provincial and municipal financial resources. In particular, the commission focused on three particular areas: market rental housing, non-market rental housing, and home ownership for first-time purchasers.
