Public Sector Essential Service Personnel Housing

Whereas there is insufficient attainable housing availability for those who seek to live and work in many communities; And whereas the Province of British Columbia has acknowledged the lack of attainable housing as a Housing Crisis; And whereas there is both a great need for, and lack of, housing for various personnel such as Royal Canadian Mounted Police and medical staff in communities in BC; And whereas the cost and availability of housing is prohibitive for needed personnel that would otherwise move for work: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM request that the Province of British Columbia fund public sector essential service personnel housing.
