This is a significant increase over what\u2019s currently being built.

As someone who\u2019s seen firsthand how local supply challenges impact buyers and sellers in Greater Vancouver, I know that bridging this gap takes more than just numbers\u2014it requires coordinated action and commitment across the industry.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada\u2019s housing challenge continues to demand our attention: the national housing agency estimates that to restore pre-pandemic affordability, we\u2019ll need between 417,000 and 469,000 new homes each year through 2036.
