Homelessness is a pressing issue that requires community support and intervention. In many cities, homeless shelters play a crucial role in providing temporary housing, meals, and support services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. These shelters often rely on the assistance of volunteers and donations to operate effectively.
If you are in need of a homeless shelter, consider reaching out to local social service agencies, community centers, or religious organizations for guidance. Additionally, many cities have dedicated hotlines or websites that can help connect individuals with available shelter options. Remember, you are not alone, and there are resources available to help you during this challenging time.

The UBCM is having a second housing summit. Its mandate is to be the voice of the municipal governments in BC and to have a unified lobby for issues including housing. Demand for housing including for new residents and in partnership with covid has put a pressure on affordable housing across Canada.
As of 2021, the vacancy rate in British Columbia’s rental market was quite low, with some areas seeing rates below 1%. This has contributed to heightened competition for rental properties and increased pressure on the availability of affordable housing. The situation has been further complicated by the influx of new residents and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on housing demand. The Government of British Columbia and the UBCM have been actively addressing these housing challenges to ensure the availability of affordable housing for the residents.
The Government of British Columbia has announced a new policy to address the affordability of rental housing. Starting from January 2024, the annual rent increase cap will be set at 3.5% below the inflation rate. This measure aims to provide more stability for renters by balancing the need for landlords to cover increasing costs while preventing excessive rent hikes.
The decision comes as a response to the ongoing housing challenges in the province, where the demand for housing, coupled with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, has put significant pressure on affordable housing. With the vacancy rate in British Columbia’s rental market remaining quite low as of 2021, this new policy is expected to contribute to the availability of affordable housing for residents.

Declaritive forum
The UBCM is a forum for discussion and getting together of municipalities across a province it will be passing resolutions that are declarative in nature and are sometimes brought back to the legislature or to the home jurisdictions of all the mayors and councils in BC. On the agenda is resolution in respect to difficulties in getting permits and to access annual allowable cuts for the forest industry.
The city of Merritt has a resolution on the agenda for the up coming Union of British Columbia Municipalities. The potential law is item an NR 88, “To expidite forestry cutting permits”. This is a new issue before the body, NR designates that no action is required by the UBCM and will be an agree or disagree statement. Cutting rights are given by law through an AAC Annual Allowable Cut. The actual harvest requires permits for road access etc to be of any use.
The AGM is being held in Vancouver in September where an executive will be elected. The statement may have effect on ballots for or against candidates. look for item 149 on the agenda.

The ubcm, Union of British Columbia municipalities, has announced an old growth forest recession. The ubcm is the forum for local governments to come together to get a United viewpoint to present to senior levels of levels of government, so as in this case as always their focus is on local government members. However as a resident of BC it would be good to stay informed if you do have an interest in this. The work of association such as ubcm is the quiet effective way to accommodate views for thoughtful presentations to senior governments.
Whether it’s by the community’s ACT or a particular charter the senior governments and the laws they make are what govern us. So. As a resident of BC with any kind of interest and how old growth is managed you may be well off to speak to your local elected officials about your views and how they might present them at this or other types of gatherings.
Housing attainability and affordability are among B.C.’s communities’ most significant social challenges. UBCM’s summit HousingBCTogether will gather leaders from all orders of government, along with industry, not-for-profit and Indigenous housing sectors to rethink housing policy with a focus on transformative solutions.
