2024 Proposed Housing Action Plan

The 2024 Proposed Housing Action Plan was submitted to Council for information on Nov 12, 2024. It highlights the key priorities and next steps that the City would be pursuing to address housing needs in Maple Ridge. 

Informed by the City's latest housing needs report, this updated Housing Action Plan builds on the housing initiatives that the City has been working on over the last decade. It introduces new initiatives to better address affordable inclusive housing and meet the projected housing needs in Maple Ridge over the longer term.

The key priorities and initiatives of the 2024 Housing Action Plan fall under 4 broader strategy pillars:

  1. Prioritize needed forms of housing (including rental housing and housing for equity deserving groups)
  2. Harness regulatory and financial tools
  3. Streamline planning and development processes
  4. Craft a land governance strategy

The City will explore these strategies and initiatives and assess their feasibility and applicability in the context of Maple Ridge.
