At their meeting on March 10th, Council received the Housing Target Progress Report for information. The report provides progress information relating to the City of New Westminster’s Housing Target Order, covering the period from August 1, 2024 to January 31, 2025, as required under the Housing Supply Act. During the reporting period, the City granted occupancy to a total of 702 net new units exceeding the year one target of 656 units by 46 units within the first six months.
