Editor's Note: This article will be continously updated as new target orders are issued and progress reports are published. Last update: June 26, 2024.
The first Monday after David Eby was sworn in as British Columbia's Premier, in November 2022, he introduced the Housing Supply Act, giving his government the authority to set housing supply targets for local governments and enforce compliance if needed.
The targets — issued in the form of a Ministerial Housing Target Order (HTO) — include those on an annual basis as well as a cumulative total, the latter of which represents 75% of the Province's housing needs estimate for the municipality.
Once the orders come into effect, the Province will monitor the municipalities and their progress towards the targets over the course of the five years. Local governments will be responsible for submitting an annual progress report to the Province. An initial progress report is expected at both the midway point and conclusion of the first year, with progress reports expected once a year for the remaining four years.
If a municipality is not meeting its target, the Province can appoint an advisor to conduct a review to identify why the target has not been met and potentially issue a directive, such as ordering the municipal government to amend or enact a given bylaw or permit.
The first cohort of municipalities was announced on May 31, 2023, with their supply targets announced on September 26, 2023 and their first year midpoint progress reports published in May 2024.
The second cohort of municipalities was announced on April 23, 2024, with their supply targets announced on June 26, 2024.
The 30 municipalities announced to date were chosen from a previously-reported list of 47 municipalities, but provincial documents indicate that the Province is aiming to issue housing supply targets to 68 to 80 municipalities by 2026-2027.
