PROGRAMS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
- Burnaby RUZP / Inclusionary RentalBelow-market rental homes secured in new Burnaby buildings under the city's Rental Use Zoning Policy. Rents are about 20% below market.Below-market rental · Below-market rental unit
- Capital Region Housing Corporation: Affordable StreamThe CRHC Affordable stream is a below-market rental program run by Capital Region Housing Corporation, the housing arm of the Capital Regional District in Greater Victoria. It is built for middle-income households who earn too much to qualify for the BC Housing Registry but cannot absorb open-market rents. Income limits run from $50,001 to $84,780 for studios and one-bedrooms, and from $50,001 to $134,140 for two-bedrooms and larger. Rents are set below the local CMHC market average (a 2BR averaged $2,121 in October 2025) and adjusted to your income band rather than calculated as a fixed percentage of earnings.Below-market rental · Below-market rental unit
- Capital Region Housing Corporation: Subsidized StreamThe CRHC Subsidized stream serves three priority populations in Greater Victoria: seniors aged 55 and over, families with dependent children, and persons with disabilities (PWD). Income ceilings are tighter than the Affordable stream and vary by household type and unit size: $50,000 for any senior household, $65,000 for a family in a 2BR, $82,000 for a family in a 3BR, and $95,500 for a family in a 4BR or larger. Capital Region Housing Corporation runs this stream as a parallel system to the BC Housing Registry, not a replacement, and applications go directly to CRHC.Below-market rental · Below-market rental unit
