Richmond, BC – The City of Richmond has launched a new Affordable Housing Hub, an online tool designed to improve access to affordable housing information and make it easier for residents to explore housing options throughout the city.
“Access to safe and affordable housing is essential to a healthy and inclusive city," said Mayor Malcolm Brodie. "The Affordable Housing Hub brings critical information together in one place, making it easier for residents to understand their options and take the next step toward finding a home that meets their needs.”
The Affordable Housing Hub provides information on non-market rental, low-end market rental and co-operative housing in one easy-to-use platform. Individuals, families, seniors, newcomers and service providers can navigate affordable housing options more efficiently and with greater clarity.
Through interactive digital maps, users can explore affordable housing locations and find contact information to inquire about associated vacancies and application requirements. Application details for BC Housing, Metro Vancouver and other partner operator sites are also available—helping users better understand where and how to apply.
Users will be able to use customizable search tools, allowing them to filter results based on rental category, bedroom type, accessibility features and neighbourhood. This enables them to focus on options that best meet their specific needs.
By centralizing affordable housing information in one accessible platform, the Affordable Housing Hub supports greater transparency, awareness and access to housing opportunities for residents at all stages of life.
Updates on future Hub enhancements will be shared through social media and the forthcoming quarterly Housing e-News. For more information or to explore the Affordable Housing Hub, visit richmond.ca/FindHousing.
