We are thrilled to share that HART has received funding for a new project under CMHC’s Demonstrations Initiative. In partnership with the Aboriginal Housing Management Association (AHMA), we are developing a comprehensive map of public lands across BC, including priority areas like Northern and Indigenous communities.
This interactive tool will identify well-located, vacant public lands by evaluating their proximity to key amenities like transit, healthcare, and education—helping governments, housing providers, and non-profits plan new housing without straining existing infrastructure. By working with AHMA, we will refine our analysis to better support viable non-profit housing projects and ensure this tool meets the needs of communities across BC.
