This episode explores how BC Housing is partnering with private developers and municipalities to increase affordable homeownership options for middle-income British Columbians. Through the Affordable Homeownership Program, BC Housing takes on a mortgage of 10% of the purchase price of a home, which reduces the down payment for buyers. For middle-income families who are struggling to get into the market, this program provides access by reducing the financial burden.
Guests include:
Armin Amrolia, Former Associate Vice President, Development Strategies, BC Housing
Byron Chard, CEO, Chard Developments, on Twitter: @ChardDev
