BC's Economy Cannot Wait: An Urgent Call for Action on Housing

UDI Lower Mainland joint letter with business, housing, construction, and real estate leaders from across B.C. to Premier David Eby and Housing Minister Christine Boyle.

β€’ Secure meaningful development charge reductions to improve project feasibility and unlock stalled housing supply
