Better Housing

Watch a 4-minute video in which Councillor Jordan Back makes the case for leading on housing, by expanding town center borders, pre-zoning and more…

Multiplexes are the simplest and most effective way to open more doors to ownership and more rental options in low-density neighbourhoods. 

Claudia and Gordon Cornwall replaced their 1960’s, North Vancouver, mid-century modern bungalow with a passive house which uses 55% less energy than a conventional house.

A development that agreed to provide 21 rental units is marketing them as extended-stay hotel suites. A group of local unions and Better North Shore are urging council to make sure these homes go to workers in West Vancouver on a long-term basis.

As we face an increasing number of people living in their motorhomes, it's crucial to find compassionate solutions that address both public safety concerns and the need for transitional housing. Let's work together to create a community that supports everyone!

If we support councils that bring forward zoning to embrace smaller mixed-use developments throughout all neighbourhoods, we could spread the burden of growth and reduce traffic congestion.

Supportive housing is about investing in the health and happiness of our entire community. The leading causes of homelessness on the North Shore are low income, high rents and a lack of affordable rentals.

Housing options look like a variety of home sizes, in a variety of locations, and at a variety of price points. This includes an abundance of choices in those housing types whether you are renting or buying.

Townhouses provide family-oriented, missing-middle housing options.

Creating homes for people aligns with my values, and my self-interest. I hope it aligns with your values too.
