The City of Prince George is making good progress on its Housing Target Order.
Under the Housing Supply Act, the B.C. Government set a five-year target of 1,803 new units for Prince George last year.
Prince George’s year-one target was set at 273 new housing units from August 1st, 2024, to July 31st, 2025.
According to the City, 284 units were completed in that time frame, representing 104 per cent of the year one goal.
“The City is very happy the current permitting process supported us in exceeding our target for year one, but it doesn’t stop there,” said Director of Planning and Development Deanna Wasnik.
“We’ll continue making improvements to ensure that we can maintain progress towards our five-year target. There are more than 1,100 net new units projected through approved permits, and we look forward to seeing them become available for residents in our community.”
City Council will receive the Housing Target Order progress report during this week’s meeting, taking place Wednesday evening.
