Where Are We Going?

BC Housing produced "A Scan of Leading Practices in Affordable Housing in Small Communities", outlining some of the tools at a municipalities disposal to increase affordable housing. Tools included are:

  • Inclusionary zoning and density bonusing
  • Intensification and tenure through rezoning
  • Reducing costs by streaming approvals and other incentives
  • Short-term rental regulations
  • Covenant tools


On MARCH 9th, the Town of Creston hosted an Affordable Housing Forum. We heard from non-profit groups, developers, businesses, and general members of the public. We heard about the challenges the community is facing and began brainstorming ideas on how we can create change. We look forward to establishing a Select Committee who will act on stakeholders behalf to collectively lay the ground work for short and long term solutions.

The Town of Creston looks forward to building our 'affordable housing toolbox', and engaging with you!
