Policy Objectives
UDI Policy Objectives
UDI’s policy work is framed by five pillars:
-
- Respond to changing community housing needs
- Ensure neighborhood planning allows for a diversity of homes
- Increases the options available to British Columbians including purpose-built rental
-
- Encourage more funding for transit expansion tied to housing delivery
- Make it easier to get from home to work by building more homes where we have transit
- Leverage senior government investments in transit by linking new transit funding to increased construction of apartments, rental units and other home choices
-
- Taxes, fees and charges on new homes add to the cost of delivering new housing
- A more balanced approach will improve affordability
- Taxation fairness and predictability will encourage the construction of new homes
-
- Improve affordability by speeding up the time it takes to approve new homes
- Long delays in city hall mean increased costs for renters and home owners
- Streamline and prioritize duplicative and conflicting regulations
-
- Encourage new rental homes by stable and favourable regulatory environment for rental home builders and providers
- Remove barriers from rental housing delivery
- Support the redevelopment of existing rental homes through better managing tenant relocation
