T
he District of Squamish has agreed to a five-year partnership with Housing Squamish to support its mission of 400 affordable houses by 2029. The long-term partnership will see a $2.3-million investment from the District dispersed over five years to help the society reach its housing goal. At the Oct. 8 special business meeting, councillors unanimously decided they would fund the hefty contribution using annual taxation, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) grant and the District’s affordable housing reserve. The CMHC grant will provide the society’s funding for three years and will deliver $500,000 in both 2025 and 2026; and $450,000 in 2027.
