Initiatives that will be taken to address housing and urban sprawl include:

-Encouraging local governments to exempt small-unit supportive housing projects from development cost charges and levies.
-A new assessment class and new tax exemptions for small-unit supportive housing will be developed over the next year for the legislature’s consideration.
-Changes to existing funding and transfer payments to ensure integrated regional transportation and housing planning.
-Working with the Union of B.C. Municipalities and the private sector to develop new incentives to encourage smaller lot sizes and smaller, more energy efficient homes that use less land, less energy and less water, and are less expensive to own.
