The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) is leading a call for the establishment of a Permanent Provincial Housing Policy Roundtable.  

This body would ensure housing policy makers have a clear and direct voice from the stakeholders in organized real estate in BC.  

The roundtable would be comprised of representatives from: 

• local governments 
• Indigenous housing organizations 
• market and non-market housing sectors 
• academic experts 
• provincial and federal housing ministries 

Put simply, the idea is: Better process, better policy.  

Recent housing policy legislation and regulations have been criticized by experts and academics as being unimpactful and ineffective. A roundtable of stakeholders on the front lines of delivering housing in BC will help ensure future housing policy is evidence-based and reflects the needs of local communities.
